Indian Point Siren Test - Tuesday, October 29

There will be a test of the Indian Point sirens in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange Counties on Tuesday, October 29th, at approximately 10:30 AM. This sounding is only a test. During this test, all 172 sirens will sound.

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. The sirens are not a signal to evacuate; rather, they are intended to alert the public to tune to an EAS radio or TV station for important information.

The siren sounding is ONLY A TEST. No action by the public is necessary.
