That means spring severe weather is approaching. If weather threatens, the drill may be post-poned until March 15. In a tornado, take cover against a wall in the center of the building, below ground level if possible. Stay away from windows and avoid large open spaces like auditoriums and cafeterias. If there are no tornado drills at your school or office, suggest them.
Safety drills can save lives.
