Indiana Governor Mike Braun has proclaimed March 8-14, 2026, Severe Weather Preparedness Week.
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) and the National Weather Service (NWS) encourage Hoosiers to act now to prepare for severe weather in Indiana.
"This week serves an important reminder to Hoosier families to take steps now to prepare," said Jonathan Whitham, Executive Director of IDHS. "Simple actions, like getting a weather radio, preparing an emergency kit and making a disaster plan can make all the difference when severe weather strikes."
IDHS encourages all families, schools and workplaces to make tornado safety plans. You can practice these plans during the statewide tornado drill at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, March 10. The drill will be broadcasted as an Emergency Alert System (EAS) on television and radio.
Throughout the week, IDHS will offer various media opportunities and share safety tips on social media.
