Subject:

Emergency Public Notification System

Dear Sir:

This letter is to report on the status of our augmentation of the Emergency Public Notification System within the Yankee Emergency Planning Zone.

As we have indicated verbally to your office on a periodic basis since February 1,1982, we had identified the need for certain additions to the system as a result of system testing and evaluation following our initial installation efforts. The additions we identified and their status as of this date are outlined below.

Sirens for North Adams Following the initial installation and sound-level testing of two sirens within North Adams, MA, the need for two additional sirens was identified.

Over the past three months, the sites for these additional sirens were prepared, the sirens were delivered from the manufacturer and installed; and, on May 20,1982, they were sound-level tested.

The results of the sound-level tests show the public notification system work for North Adams, MA la now complete.

Modification of Colrain Siren An existing siren in the Town of Colrain, MA was modified.

The siren was successfully sound-level tested on May 20, 1982. This completes the siren I

portion of the public notification system work for Colrain.

Additional Weather Alert Radios Following the initial distribution, two towns identified the need for additional NOAA weather alert radios. The Town of Colrain, MA requested approximately 200 additional radios and the Town of Wilmington, VT requested 8206220382 8206iO PDR ADOCK 05000029 PDR
