Sirens and the Emergency Alert System
|
Tune to 97.5 FM should you hear a siren lasting between
three to five minutes in duration. This station would
broadcast an emergency message indicating the type of
emergency. Radio announcements would tell you what to do.
Staying tuned might be all you need to do.
Remember: Do not use the phone or cell phone unless
absolutely necessary. Leave the lines open for emergency
personnel.
In addition to the
three-to-five minute steady tone that would sound for an
emergency at Seabrook Station, other siren tones may be used
by your local emergency officials. These other siren tones
may be sounded during local emergencies and/or testing.
The
10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone
The area of
approximately 10 miles around Seabrook Station is called the
Emergency Planning Zone. There is an emergency plan
for each community inside this zone. However, it is not
likely that everyone within the 10-mile zone would need to
take action in an emergency. The areas affected would depend
on the weather and the kind of accident. State public safety
and health officials would continually review the situation.
They would decide the best actions to protect you. In case
of an emergency, listen to the EAS for specific instructions
for your community. |
