Ohio will hold a statewide tornado drill on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 9:50 AM. When the sirens sound, take a moment to practice your tornado safety plan.
Use the drill to:
• Move to your designated shelter area (lowest level, interior room, away from windows)
• Review safety procedures with family, coworkers, or students
• Make sure you can receive weather alerts and warnings
Sign up for ALERT Franklin County to stay informed.
Practicing during this drill helps everyone respond quickly and safely if severe weather strikes.
