NY-Alert is a
notification system that disseminates critical
emergency-related information, including instructions and
protective actions, through various communication systems
(e.g. email, cell phones and media outlets) to those who
sign up. Signing up for NY-Alert is free and by doing so,
you can receive the important warnings and emergency
information when you may need it most.
The Indian Point Energy
Center Alert & Notification System was approved by The
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and placed into
service on Wednesday August 27th 2008 at 12:00 noon. The new
siren alert notification system provides emergency
management officials with another tool for swiftly notifying
the public. The sirens if needed will sound for Four (4)
Minutes; advising residents to tune to an Emergency Alert
Station (EAS) on radio or TV – for important information.
Sirens are tested quarterly to verify operational
functionality.
