The annual statewide tornado drill is scheduled for 9:07 a.m, Wednesday. March 6.
The University sent a message, notifying students, faculty and staff about the drill this morning.
“This test will include the outdoor sirens and speakers, the campus (VOIP) phone system, the Emergency Mobile Alert system, and digital signage in the common areas,” according to the email.
The Calloway County Office of Emergency Management plans to test the tornado warning sirens in Murray, Hazel and on campus.
This test will coincide with the statewide drill scheduled for the same date and time.
If a threat of severe weather at the scheduled time arises, the drill will be postponed to a later date.
