The Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Risk Index ranks Monroe County's probability of a tornado as relatively moderate. The ranking is a prediction of annual losses that factors in the vulnerability of the population and a community's resilience.

Marion County Emergency Management confirms that the county's outdoor tornado sirens failed during the statewide tornado siren test on Tuesday, March 11. Hancock County also confirmed to 13News that its tornado sirens also failed to activate during the test.

The Emergency Alert System will test its communications systems Tuesday morning to prepare for tornado season.
