Today begins Tornado & Severe Weather Awareness Week in the State of WI. @BrownWIExec proclaimed the same for Brown County this morning. Be Prepared. Make a Plan. Stay Informed. Remember that Thursday at 1:45pm and 6:45pm will be the two Statewide Tornado Drills for 2023.

There's a siren crew in Green Bay and New Franken working on a couple of sirens today so that everything is good to go for Thursday's Tornado Drills. Do not call 911 if you hear a siren today since this maintenance is being performed and severe weather is not expected. Thanks!

Earlier this week we hosted the Brown and Kewaunee County ARES Group in our EOC for their monthly meeting which also had the @NWSGreenBay giving their annual storm spotter presentation to the group. #bepreparedbrowncounty

Next week is Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week. Instead of the Wednesday (19th) siren test, we will be participating in the Statewide Tornado Drills on Thursday, April 20th at 1:45pm and 6:45pm. What is your plan if there was a tornado near you? #bepreparedbrowncounty

The Village of Howard’s staff worked long and hard to apply for the WI Disaster Fund, to help recoup up to 70% of the costs of the recovery efforts from the June ‘22 storms. The Village‘s efforts helped them receive over $158,000 from the State! Great job!

Due to the chance for severe weather today, we will NOT be doing the noon siren test. If you hear the sirens today, treat them as a real emergency and follow any plans you have in place! #bepreparedbrowncounty

Today’s training in our EOC, the ‘Purple Angel Initiative’ trains businesses and organizations in our community to recognize, communicate with, and create a welcoming and safe environment for people with dementia and their caregivers. For more: adrcofbrowncounty.org/purple-angel/

There is an ECS Siren Maintenance Team out in Suamico today doing some preventative maintenance on sirens in that area. If you hear a siren in that area today, please don't call 911, it's just us making sure the maintenance worked. Thank you Brown County! #bepreparedbrowncounty

This morning we teamed up with @GBMFD to talk to residents at Meadows North Apartments about Emergency Preparedness! Create plans for different types of emergencies you may face, and stay informed of events happening in your area. Check out CodeRED, and #bepreparedbrowncounty

It's Flood Safety Awareness Week and here's a wintry system moving into our area tonight. Part of being prepared for flooding is taking steps ahead of time to mitigate damages from flooding. The more snow we get now, the more water we may have later. #bepreparedbrowncounty

Flood Safety Awareness Week continues! If you want to see if you’re in a floodplain or check out some other resources, please check out floodinginbc.com. #bepreparedbrowncounty" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wbay.com/video/2023/03/…

Flood Safety Awareness Week rolls on this week in Brown County. How many of these things do you have planned or have at least thought about if you live in a flood-prone area? #bepreparedbrowncounty
