The Saline County Emergency Management Agency is taking part in a statewide storm siren drill on Wednesday, March 4th, as part of Severe Weather Preparedness Week.

The week is observed March 2-6 in Missouri. Saline County Emergency Management Director Brad Hinz says Severe Weather Preparedness Week encourages residents to form a plan in the event of severe weather this spring.

 

Hinz says Wednesday’s drill will begin at 11 a.m. across the state.

 

Saline County EMA manages storm sirens in Arrow Rock, Blackburn, Gilliam, Grand Pass, Malta Bend, Miami, Nelson, Slater and Sweet Springs. The City of Marshall operates its own sirens and will conduct its own test. More information about Severe Weather Preparedness Week can be found here.
