Indian Point Full Volume Siren Test Wednesday, Feb 20th at 10:30 am

There will be a full volume test of the Indian Point sirens on Wednesday, February 20, 2019 at approximately 10:30AM in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange Counties.

This sounding is only a test. If there were an emergency at the nuclear power plant, 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 this or another EAS radio or TV station for important information. The siren sounding is ONLY A TEST. No action by the public is necessary.
