(St. Paul, MN) — Tornado sirens across Minnesota will be tested next week as part of the state’s annual drill.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety will hold two drills next Thursday, April 11th, in coordination with local authorities.
Sirens will go off at 1:45 and 6:45 p.m.; weather radios across the state will also broadcast a simulated tornado warning.
The agency says the drill gives Minnesotans a chance to review their emergency plans and practice what they would do in the event of an actual tornado.
