Orange County, NY - Siren Test Scheduled For Indian Point

Orange County, NY - Orange County will test its 16 Indian Point nuclear power plant emergency sirens Wednesday morning, between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. The three to four minute test will coincide with similar tests in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties, disaster preparedness officials said.

Together, 156 sirens form a 10-mile wide ring around the Westchester County nuclear plant. During an actual emergency, sirens would alert residents to listen to radio for further instructions.
