At 10:00 a.m. on the day of the drill, NOAA Weather Radios will alert listeners that the tornado drill has begun. Outdoor warning sirens will also sound across Missouri. At this time, participants should practice taking cover in their designated shelter. Visit stormaware.mo.gov/statewide-tornado-drill/ for more information on how to participate .
