WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK, March 6-12, 2005
Each year, the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management
and the National Weather Service (NWS) conduct drills to
prepare for the upcoming severe weather season. This year,
New Jersey will be teaming up with Pennsylvania and participating
in Severe Weather Awareness Week, March 6-12, 2005.
Public Information Statements will be issued each day (Monday,
March 7 – Friday, March 11) to inform the public of
NWS terminology, characteristics of NJ severe weather and
how to prepare.
On Thursday, March 10th, we will be issuing
a TEST Severe Thunderstorm Warning at 11 AM. This test will
be valid for 15 minutes, and will be issued under the RWT
(Routine Weekly Test) EAS code. This Test Warning will be
issued in all Pennsylvania counties, and only the New Jersey
counties listed below. This document is intended for use
only during the 2005 PA/NJ Severe Weather Awareness Week.
The National Weather Service will issue weather-related
information. Some of the information will be general weather
safety while other information will be associated with the
drill. Every county will receive a test Severe Thunderstorm
Warning on Thursday, March 10, 2005. The schedule is as
