Severe Weather Awareness Week - April 5-9, 2010
The Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division and the National Weather Service have declared the week of April 5th through April 9th, 2010 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. 2008 was a historic year across Iowa with 105 tornadoes including the EF5 tornado that struck Parkersburg and other areas in northeast Iowa.
During Severe Weather Awareness Week, the National Weather Service will promote severe-weather safety by issuing informative Public Information Statements. The highlight of the week will be the statewide tornado drill on Wednesday morning, April 7, 2010.
Please visit the Campus Safety & Security website at http://www.grinnell.edu/offices/security/weather for information concerning severe weather shelter areas for the campus and additional information concerning severe weather at Grinnell College.
Thank you.
