Indian Point schdules test of all sirens

Indian Point schdules test of all sirens
All 156 Indian Point sirens will be activated at full volume during a 10-second test to be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday by Entergy Nuclear Northeast.
The sirens are in a 10-mile emergency planning zone surrounding Indian Point, including 79 in Westchester County, 51 in Rockland, 16 in Orange and 10 in Putnam.
During an emergency, the counties would sound sirens simultaneously for four minutes at full volume, alerting the public to listen to emergency alert system broadcasts on local radio or television stations for further information and instructions. Sounding the sirens is a signal for residents to listen to broadcasts, not to evacuate.
Information booklets are available through local county emergency management offices by calling:
Westchester: 1-800-942-1452.
Rockland: 1-800-942-1450.
Putnam: 1-800-942-1457.
