A statewide tornado drill is scheduled for this afternoon and some people may hear emergency sirens blaring.
As part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, the Michigan State Police Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division will conduct the drill at 1:30 this afternoon.
The tornado drill will be heard on many of these Michigan News Network stations as well as on participating televisions and NOAA weather radios.
The statewide tornado drill is a part of an effort to encourage residents to take action to prepare and practice their emergency plans.
Since local cities, townships and counties operate their own warning sirens, some outdoor sirens may not be activated during the drill.
Again the tornado drill is scheduled for 1:30.
