Ohio statewide tornado drill today at 0950EST
A strong EF-1 tornado that hit Pepper Pike
Yes it is 2016 National Severe Weather Preparedness Week. Back in 2013, a strong EF-1 hit Pepper Pike (Cuyahoga County, Ohio) in 2013 at 3am.
Luckily, there were no deaths associated with this tornado. Trust me, the damage was unreal.
Yikes is right. But now is the time to review your preparedness kits and double check your family communications plan.
On Wednesday 03-22-16 at 0950 EST, Ohio will have a statewide test of the tornado sirens. This is only a test.
Test your tornado plans by:
- Taking shelter in a safe location on the lowest level of a sturdy building
- Keeping an emergency first aid kit in your shelter location.
- Having a copy of your family communications plans.
- Putting on boots (for post tornado debris).
These simple tips could help you survive a tornado strike.
More weather info can be found 24/7 by my trusted partners at NWS-CLE.
I hope that you can participate in our statewide tornado drill tomorrow. #SafetySur #NatlPrep #OHWx #severeprep

It’s full scale exercise time…who’s excited?
********This is only training – only a planned drill********
Wait, doesn’t everyone hang out at the airport on Saturdays?
Ice and Water Rescue in NW Ohio – All-Hazards Full Scale Exercise
Spending a bunch of time in NW Ohio with several emergency services agencies focused in on Water/Ice Rescue.
Did some GPS coordinate work, observation and recon work, and of course some grid search pattern work.
A few of my peeps testing their newly acquired National Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) concepts.
Had a chance to interact with a few of the NW Ohio water rescue resources as well as a few aeromedical agencies too.
I’m glad to see so many willing all-hazards participants involved in this exercise.
Also glad to see local and regional law enforcement participation in the day’s events too.
Despite relatively colder temps, all crews managed to say jovial and warm.
Thanks again to my cadre of ICS Subject Matter Experts in Operations, Logistics, Public Information, Communications, and Air Operations who assisted today with evaluation.
