[jack10562 414]

"Entergy will conduct full volume tests of the new Indian Point sirens on Tuesday, April 15, Wednesday, April 16 and Thursday, April 17. All the sirens in the new system will be sounded for four minutes, one time each day, between 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

No response on the part of the public is necessary.

Residents should be aware that these new sirens do NOT sound like the current sirens. Westchester County officials will use the current siren system to alert the public during an emergency at Indian Point until the new siren system is completed and tested.

In an actual emergency, all the current sirens would sound at full volume for four minutes. Sirens are not a signal to evacuate; but rather to tune to their local Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio or TV station for important information. "

In an emergency, official information will be broadcast on the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
