March 21-27 is Severe Weather Awareness week in Ohio. Gov. Mike DeWine is encouraging Ohioans to review any emergency plans and practice safety drills.

“Everything we focus on here in Ohio is about safety and preparedness. It’s about getting vaccinated and slowing the spread of COVID-19. It’s about keeping Ohioans healthy and saving lives now and in the future,” DeWine said. “Whether it’s a medical emergency or severe weather event, it’s imperative that Ohioans know how to respond in times of crisis.”
