In 2025 the Missouri Statewide Tornado Drill is next Wednesday, March 5 at a 11:00 AM CST. The states of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas will also be participating next week. At 11:00 a.m. on the day of the drill, NOAA Weather Radios set to receive the Routine Weekly Tests (RWTs) will alert listeners that the tornado drill has begun. Outdoor warning sirens will also sound across participating communities in Missouri. At this time, participants should practice taking cover in their designated shelter. Schools, businesses and families are all encouraged to participate in the statewide tornado drill.
