It's Severe Weather Awareness Week in Missouri and Joplin/Jasper County Emergency Management Director Keith Stammer told us today on the KZRG Morning Newswatch you should be prepared for the worst this spring---and that means getting a kit together that will last for more than just a few hours.
Stammer says you should have a radio, extra batteries, a flashlight, blankets, plus enough food and water to last for at least 3 to 5 days.
Statewide tornado drills scheduled for Tuesday in Missouri and Kansas have been postponed because of a small risk of an actual tornado.
The National Weather Service postponed the drills on Monday to avoid any confusion. Thunderstorms are possible in parts of both states on Tuesday.
The drills are now scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Thursday in both states.
