tornado drill
Cyclone safety practice
A tornado drill is a practice exercise for responding to a tornado warning.
Schools, workplaces, and other institutions conduct tornado drills to ensure people know where to shelter and how to protect themselves—typically moving to interior rooms away from windows and assuming a crouched position.
We had a tornado drill every spring in elementary school.
