Testing announcement

The Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA), the Delaware State Police, and Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (PSEG), will conduct a quarterly test of the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations Alert and Notification system on Tuesday, April 7, at 7:20 p.m.

This test is part of an ongoing program that continually monitors the integrity of the siren system. Sirens will be activated for three (3) to five (5) minutes, followed by a test message of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) on local radio stations.

Sirens tested are the same ones used to alert the public in the event of an actual emergency at the Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations and are designed to alert people who are outdoors.

In the event of an actual emergency, the sirens will sound for a steady three (3) to five (5) minutes that will alert citizens to turn their radio to an Emergency Alert System (EAS) station for critical emergency information or instructions. Other alerting methods that target EAS and cell phones would also be used during an actual event.

If there are any questions, please call the Delaware Emergency Management Agency at 1-877-SAY-DEMA (1-877-729-3362) or (302) 659-3362 and ask for Stephen Davis.
