Indian Point Siren Test - Wednesday, March 24

There will be a test of the Indian Point sirens in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange Counties on Wednesday, March 24th, at approximately 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. 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.
