It’s Severe Weather Awareness Week – Make Sure You Know How to Protect Yourself

The Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division and the National Weather Service have declared the week of April 2 through April 6, 2012 as Severe Weather Awareness Week. Severe Weather Awareness Week is an annual event to remind Iowans that severe weather is part of living in our state and that understanding the risks and how to respond to them can save lives. The highlight of the week will be the statewide tornado drill on Wednesday, April 4. Even though Heartland will not be participating in this drill, please be aware of the different types of severe weather and how to protect yourself during each one.
