Full Volume Siren Test Scheduled for Today at Indian Point

A Full Volume Siren Test is scheduled for today, 3/24, at the Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan, NY at approximately 10:30 AM.  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 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 a local EAS radio broadcast or TV station for important information. 

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