Somethings up because they already do alarm sound test usually one a month, and everyone already does the emergency test randomly. I think this is crap just to condition people into thinking it is the norm and be unprepared for something they really want to pull off
Personally I think your right, I'm curious to know "what" they're testing for since like you said they already do the 1st Saturday tornado tests. It's some kind of info grab, but for what?
The month of March is always Severe Weather Awareness. Participating states pick their week then it's up to the county/municipality/institution/business to carry out the drill based on SOP's. This is nothing new. Using homeland security as a name, yea, that threw me off, but I think there is adequate explanation in other comments.
What's interesting is that my friend said he was the only one in the office that got the message. Majority of people there live in Wayne County but only he got it. So I'm wondering why they're using a selective group.

We dont do this until April in Michigan.
I'm learning from this thread kek. I thought it was all done in March. Maybe I need to research this more, just for curiosity's sake.

Hmmm.... ok yea that is interesting. I would think something like that would be county wide.
