Test Of Indian Point Sirens

There will be a test of the Indian Point sirens in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange Counties at 10:30 a.m.

This sounding is only a test.

If there were an emergency at the nuclear power plants, the sirens would be sounded continuously at full volume for 4 minutes, followed by an activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) on radio and television stations to broadcast important information and instructions.

These stations are listed in the emergency planning booklet mailed to households and businesses in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone around Indian Point. These books are also posted on the Indian Point web site – www.safesecurevital.com
