On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST State Emergency Management and the National Weather Service will conduct a Statewide Severe Weather Tornado Drill.
Every school, citizen, and business is encouraged to participate in the drill.
Geary County Emergency Management said that residents should treat the drill as if it were an actual Tornado Warning. The purpose of the drill is to test everyone's readiness for life-threatening severe weather events such as tornadoes, flash floods, and damaging winds. Local officials are encouraged to sound warning sirens to initiate the drill.
The National Weather Service will issue a Routine Weekly Test (RWT) to NOAA Weather Radios to initiate the drill.
