April 25 is the 30th anniversary of National Drug Take Back Day. Nearly 150 locations around Wisconsin are accepting unwanted prescription and non-prescription medications, ointments, patches, non-aerosol sprays, inhalers, creams, vials and pet medications from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Va**ng devices with removable batteries are also accepted.

Bringing these items to a take-back site is the most environmentally friendly option. Pharmaceuticals should not be flushed down toilets or poured into drains. Water treatment systems do not capture or treat the chemicals.

🌪 The annual Wisconsin Statewide Tornado Drills will occur on April 16 at 1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. Schools, businesses, and families are encouraged to practice going to their nearest tornado shelter or safe location during these drills.

🏠For houses: If you live in a house, the safest areas could be a basement, a ground floor interior room of a building that is not near windows, or a specially constructed safe room designed to withstand high winds and falling debris.

🏢For apartment buildings: If you live in an apartment, the safest location to be is the lowest level, with as many walls between you and the outside as possible. Stay away from windows.

🚐For mobile homes: Mobile homes are not a safe shelter location during a tornado. Identify a safer structure to go to whether that is a community shelter location, nearby public buildings or family and friends who live in sturdy structures. Know your evacuation route from your home and how long it will take to get to a safer location.

📻📱During the drill times, Wisconsin’s NWS offices will conduct NOAA Weather Radio tests that can be heard if you are actively listening to those devices or have one programmed to activate on test alerts. 📺Local media outlets may also participate on the air or over social media. 📢Some communities may also choose to test their outdoor warning sirens during drill times. Check with local emergency management offices for information on the siren testing schedules.

If there is a threat of severe weather in Wisconsin on April 16, the statewide drills will be postponed until Friday, April 17. The drills will go on in all other conditions, including non-severe weather (clouds, rain, dark sky, scattered thunderstorms, etc.). If severe weather is also expected on Friday, the drills will be cancelled. Notification of the drill status will be posted at http://readywisconsin.wi.gov by 10 a.m. on April 16.

👍To stay safe during severe weather, ReadyWisconsin encourages people to do the following:

•Create an emergency plan and practice it.
•Know where designated shelters are located at home, work, and school.
•Be ready to go there when a tornado warning is issued.

•Have multiple ways to receive alerts about approaching severe weather.
-Outdoor warning sirens,
-NOAA Weather Radios,
-local media, and mobile devices are all important tools.
•Don’t rely on any single source for important life-saving information.

📲If you have a mobile device, make sure it is enabled to receive Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). On many devices, that option is available in the settings menu. Find out more about WEA at https://readywisconsin.wi.gov/be-informed/be-alert/.
