Tornadoes (with Statewide Tornado Drills), Severe Weather Awareness Week is April 8-12
Are you ready for severe weather? Each year, MN Homeland Security and Emergency Management in collaboration with the National Weather Service sponsors Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota. The week is designed to refresh, remind and educate everyone about the seasonal threats from severe weather and how to avoid them. It’s also a great time to make and practice your emergency plan and build or refresh your emergency preparedness kit.

Today, Thursday, April 11, 2024, Minnesota statewide tornado drills will occur at 1:45 pm and 6:45 pm with the emergency sirens being activated in the city of Moorhead at that time. MSUM will also be sending out a Dragon Alert Emergency Notification Message at those times reminding our campus community that the siren activation is for a statewide simulated tornado warning drill.
MSUM Public Safety encourages you to update your Dragon Alert Emergency Notification System account with your cell phone information to ensure you receive important campus information and emergency notifications.
