Severe Weather Awareness Week 2013
Apr 7 @ 11:00 am – Apr 13 @ 9:00 pm

Governor Rick Snyder and Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson have declared the week of April 7 through April 13, 2013 as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Michigan.

Oakland County’s Homeland Security Division will be engaged in various public education efforts during Severe Weather Awareness Week in an effort to help minimize the loss of life and destruction of property that can result from severe weather.

As part of this initiative, a special test of the Early Weather Warning System will be conducted.  The Outdoor Warning System sirens will be activated on Wednesday, April 10 at 1 p.m.

The purpose of the test is to raise the level of severe weather safety awareness and to offer schools and businesses an opportunity to review and test their internal disaster plans.  Residents are asked to publicize the date and time of the test in order to help stop calls to 9-1-1 or to local Police and Fire Departments.
