WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- Would you know what to do in a tornado? The key is to plan now for what to do in an emergency. Join Prince William County Government in participating in the annual Tornado Preparedness Day Drill in March to practice taking cover from tornadoes.
Last year, 51 tornadoes hit Virginia, the second highest number on record. Ten people died, more than 100 were injured, and 212 homes and 17 businesses were destroyed. Nearly every part of the state was affected, including northern Virginia.
Plan now to participate in the statewide Tornado Drill, set for Tuesday, March 20, at 9:45 a.m. Every home, business, organization, and school can hold a tornado drill. If you canāt participate at that time, then choose another time or date ā the most important thing is to have a drill, so you will know what to do when a tornado approaches.
