The St. Joseph Health Dept. plans to take part in a statewide tornado drill Tuesday.

The drill will be held Tuesday, March 15 at 1:30 p.m.

The Health Dept. said it will take part by practicing sheltering within its building.

“Our participation in the drill will delay service delivery for approximately 15 minutes. Participants with appointments should plan to arrive at their scheduled time as the delay will be minimal,” the Dept. said. “The health department will enact the entire plan, which
means directing everyone to a safe location including those in the building to receive services.”

The City of St. Joseph Animal Control & Rescue Shelter will also participate, and will delay opening until 1:45 p.m. instead of 1:30 p.m.
