KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Tornado sirens will go off Tuesday, March 2 at 10 a.m. in both Missouri and Kansas. The sirens are part of a drill in conjunction with Severe Weather Preparedness Week.
Emergency managers want residents to treat the drill as practice so that if a true disaster should strike, theyâll know how to best handle the situation.
âWe just get complacent because weâre really busy and things are pulling us in 20 different directions. Itâs a matter of taking a little bit of time and making sure our families are prepared so if it happens, we got a head start on everything,â explained Karla Duncan, the manager of preparedness for the American Red Crossâ disaster program in Missouri and Arkansas.
National Weather Service offices in Kansas City, Missouri, St. Louis and Topeka say a technical issue led to tornado warning alerts Tuesday morning that were not clearly labeled as a drill or test.
