(KAIR)--Outdoor warning alert sirens sounded in both Kansas and Missouri Thursday, as statewide tornado drills were held in preparation of severe spring weather.
Atchison County Emergency Preparedness Director Wes Lanter says every siren was tested Thursday afternoon, and each one was confirmed to be working, meaning Atchison County is ready for severe weather.
Lanter adds that the sirens will continue to be tested the first Wednesday of each month at 10:00 in the morning through October.
The tornado drill was held as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, a time set aside annually to focus on the needs to prepare for the dangers that can arise with spring storms.
The week runs through Friday.
