How would I be notified of an emergency at Indian Point?
Special emergency sirens that produce a continuous, four-minute tone would alert people within 10 miles of Indian Point to tune to an Emergency Alert Station (EAS) for information about an emergency at Indian Point. If you hear the continuous, four-minute tone, listen to one of the EAS system stations listed in this brochure for of"cial information on what you should do.
These sirens are tested periodically throughout the year. Siren tests are announced in advance through local news media.
In addition to the sirens, a high-speed telephone service, an e-mail alerting service or web-based services such as NY Alert could be used to notify and inform the public.
Anyone can sign up for NY Alert online at https://users.nyalert.gov/
How would I find out what I should do in an emergency?
Of"cials would use the Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio and television stations to provide information and instructions to the public.
EAS stations in this area are listed on the next page. These stations would be the of"cial source of information during an emergency.
Different areas could be directed to take different actions, so instructions will be provided in terms of the communities or areas HOW WOULD I BE NOTIFIED?

What might I be instr ucted to do?
You could be instructed to shelter-in-place, to evacuate, to take potassium iodide (KI) or to take no action. Officials would base any emergency instructions on the situation at Indian Point and where people were most likely to be affected. People in one area might need to take one action, while people in another area might take a different action or no action at all.
In all cases, avoid using telephones and cell phones to prevent overloading the system and interfering with emergency use.
Shelter-in-Place If your area is instructed to shelter-in-place, you should remain indoors and limit the ways outside air can enter. This would include:
> Keep family and pets inside
> Close windows and doors
> Turn off air conditioners and ventilation systems
> Extinguish fires in fireplaces and closing dampers
> Listen to radio or TV for emergency information Evacuation If your area is instructed to evacuate, you should gather the things you would need for a three day stay and leave promptly.
Where should I go, if I have to evacuate?
You should go to the home of a friend or relative or other location outside the 10-mile area around Indian Point using the timeliest route. If you do not have another place to go, you can go to the W H AT S H O U L D I D O ?
W H AT S H O U L D I D O ?

In an evacuation:
> Be certain that your area is one being ordered to evacuate.
Do not evacuate unnecessarily
> Remain calm, but act promptly
> Do not use the telephone to avoid overloading the system
> Offer a ride to anyone you know who might not have a car
> Close windows and vents in your car and do not use the air conditioning until you have left the area

s clothing and blankets or sleeping bags s prescription medicines s personal items such as shaving kits, soap and cosmetics s formula and other supplies for children and infants s your checkbook, credit cards, cash and important papers

What is Potassium Iodide (KI)?
Potassium iodide is an over-the-counter medication that can block radioactive iodine from entering the thyroid gland if there were a severe emergency involving a large release of radiation. Potassium iodide is often referred by its chemical symbol, KI.
If Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages direct people in your area to take potassium iodide, follow the instructions on the packaging, or those provided by the EAS message.
During an emergency, Potassium Iodide is available at reception centers.
Obtain KI-Potassium Iodide for your family free of charge

What about facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes?
Hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities within 10 miles of Indian Point have emergency plans to keep their residents safe, including provisions for transporting residents to host facilities.
If you have a family member in a facility and require information about their emergency planning initiatives, please contact the facility administrator.
What about people with special needs?
If you have special needs, such as a walking disability, impaired sight or hearing, or need specialized transportation or equipment, the County will make special arrangements for you.
Call 845-364-2020 or visit our website www.rocklandregisters.com What about pets and livestock?
If you are directed to evacuate, you will want to take your pets with you. Pets would not be permitted in Reception Centers or temporary shelters (except for service animals, such as seeing-eye dogs). Pet owners are encouraged to explore alternatives for their pets, such as boarding kennels, friends or relatives.
If you have livestock or agricultural products, useful information is available from the New York State Department of Agriculture Web site www.agmkt.state.ny.us or call 1-800-554-4501 or call your local Cooperative Extension Of"ce.
The county is developing limited emergency kennel space at Reception Centers. This is being done to accommodate people who cannot make other arrangements for their pets beforehand.
Pet owners should plan to bring their own supplies, including food, leashes, cages and carriers etc. Trained volunteers will be available to assist owners with pet care and feeding. Please be mindful that space at this location is limited, so we encourage everyone to make other plans for their pets before the emergency.
Leave No Animal Behind
> Arrange with friends or relatives to provide temporary shelter for you and/or your pets.
> Make a list of pet-friendly hotels and motels outside your area. (You can look them up online at www.petfriendlytravel
.com or www.petswelcome.com)
> Ask your veterinarian and boarding facilities if they provide emergency care and boarding during a disaster. (Also identify an alternate veterinarian or boarding facility 30-90 miles away.)

How are emergencies at nuclear power plants classified?
The federal government established four classi"cations for emergencies at nuclear power plants. In order from the least to most serious, they are:
> An UNUSUAL EVENT indicates a potential problem with operation of the plant. Of"cials are noti"ed, but no public action is necessary.
> An ALERT indicates an event that could reduce the plants level of safety. Any release of radioactivity would be a small fraction of the federal guidelines. No public action would be required.
> A SITE AREA EMERGENCY indicates a problem that substantially reduces the plants level of safety. Releases of radioactivity outside the plant site would not be expected to exceed federal guidelines. Residents should monitor the situation on television or radio.
> A GENERAL EMERGENCY indicates a problem affecting safety systems in the plant that could lead to a release of radiation that would exceed the federal guidelines outside the plant. Protective actions may be ordered for some areas.

What is Radiation?
Radiation is energy, such as heat, light or radio waves, which moves through space or matter at high speed. It can be easily detected and measured using specialized instruments. In very large amounts, radiation can damage living cells.
Radiation comes from many natural and common man-made sources. Cosmic rays, radon from bedrock, radioactive elements in the foods we eat and materials we use to build our homes all come from natural sources. These natural forms of radiation are part of what is called background radiation. Man-made radiation comes from sources such as X-rays, other medical procedures, television sets, microwave ovens and electric power plants.
The effect of radiation on the human body is measured in units called millirems. The average background radiation exposure in this area is about 600 millirems per year. About 50% of exposure to radiation in the U.S. comes from natural sources; the other 50% comes from man-made sources.
