Jefferson Lab will participate in the Virginia Department of Emergency 
Management's statewide tornado preparedness drill on Tuesday, March 15.

At 9:45 a.m., the National Weather Service will issue a warning tone, 
which you can hear on a weather-alert radio (for the first time, this 
tone will be the same tone alert that would be broadcast during an 
actual tornado warning) and TV.

You also can listen for the warning on local radio stations that provide 
live feeds over the Internet. The National Public Radio station, 
WHRV-FM, is among those that will broadcast the signal. You can link to 
NPR's live feed at:

At this site, click on the "Live Radio" tab and then click on the first 
item in "Live Radio Streams," which is 89.5 WHRV-FM.

Jefferson Lab also will issue a warning at 9:45 a.m.over its sitewide 
alert system, which will feed a text message to pagers and e-mail.

The drill will end at about 9:55 a.m.
