Hello,

Kentucky Severe Weather Awareness Week this year is from Saturday March 1st to Friday, March 7th.  Attached is the NWS Louisville social media plan for the week.  On our social media pages, we'll be sharing some content related to the daily safety theme.  Feel free to share the content!

As part of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Kentucky, we will conduct the Statewide Tornado Drill on Wednesday, March 5, at 10:07 AM ET (9:07 AM CT). This year, we will again be using live event codes, meaning the message will go over as a Tornado Warning (with lots of TEST wording) and will activate the EAS, but not the WEA. We hope that the EAS activation will increase participation, and we are notifying 3rd-party vendors ahead of time to help avoid confusion. If there is a threat of severe weather at the scheduled time, we will postpone the drill to a fair weather day.

**Areas of Northern Kentucky served by NWS Wilmington, OH will receive a Routine Weekly Test per agreement with Cincinnati-area broadcasters.**

 

I'll be posting information as we get closer to next week.
