Berwick, Pa. (August 1, 2024) Susquehanna Nuclear announced today that it will test all sirens that are part of Susquehanna Steam Electric Station’s (“SSES” or the “Station”) Emergency Notification System on Thursday August 15, 2024, at 11 a.m. EDT. During the test, all sirens within a 10-mile radius of SSES will sound in a steady tone for approximately three minutes.

After the sirens sound, local Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio and television stations will carry a message about the test. Residents may receive notification calls on their land lines and/or mobile devices as part of the CodeRED mass notification system used by Columbia County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and Luzerne County EMA. Similarly, emergency notification features on mobile devices also may be activated during this test. No public action is required during this test. In all cases, the sirens sounding is not a signal to evacuate, but rather a way to alert individuals to tune in to an EAS television or radio station for information and instructions.

A list of EAS stations can be found in SSES’ Nuclear Emergency Information Brochure, mailed annually to households and businesses within its Emergency Planning Zone (within a 10-mile radius of the Station), or online at www.susquehannanuclear.com/emergency-planning/. More information regarding the CodeRED mass notification system including information on how to sign up for electronic emergency notifications can be found on Columbia County EMA’s website at http://ema.columbiapa.org/ or Luzerne County EMA’s website at https://www.luzernecounty.org/191/Emergency-Management.
