What is the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)?
The community emergency planning described in this booklet is for the area within a 10-mile radius of Indian Point, known as the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The federal government set the 10-mile radius as the area requiring emergency plans for protecting health and safety in radiological emergencies.
An emergency at Indian Point could mean that radioactive materials either escaped or could possibly escape from the plant. The goal of emergency planners is to prevent or limit peoples exposure to the radioactive materials.
The 10-mile radius around Indian Point, located in Buchanan, New York, is called the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).
How will I know if my area is affected during an emergency at Indian Point?
This booklet has been mailed to you because your home or workplace is located in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Indian Point Energy Center (see the detailed map in this booklet).
If there is an emergency, you will be given instructions based on your municipality which will be broadcast on EAS radio and television stations.

What happens if there is an emergency and my children are in school?
Relocation of school children to School Reception Centers An emergency could, of course, occur at any time of the day or night. It could happen during hours when your children are in school. County officials working closely with safety experts from New York State, other counties and school districts, have developed plans for relocating school children in an Indian Point emergency.
As a precautionary measure, officials plan to relocate students well in advance of a serious emergency. Relocating school children is not indicative that a radiological release has occurred, or is even likely to occur. In fact relocating school children does not mean an evacuation of the area has been ordered or is likely to be ordered. It is a precautionary action.
Students would be taken with their teachers by bus to School Reception Centers located outside the EPZ. Children would then be registered and will stay at the School Reception Center, under the care of their teachers, until parents are able to pick them up. If the need for food and extended shelter becomes necessary before parents arrive, children may be moved to a General Reception Center. In that case, they would remain in the care of teachers, and parents would be notified through the media. Your childrens school and the corresponding School Reception Center School staff are trained annually on emergency relocation procedures. Parents is shown on the detailed map in this should be confident that their children are safe and secure with the same staff booklet. Officials will use TV and radio that cares for them while in school. broadcasts to keep you informed about Parental pick-up. Many schools have plans in place to allow parents to pick up school relocations.
step their children before they are relocated to a School Reception Center. Check with the principal at your childrens schools to see if they have such plans.
4 If your childs school is relocated
- If your children attend different schools they may be sent to different School Reception Centers located close to each other. Check the map to see where each of your children will be relocated to. Dont worry if you cant immediately pick up your children for any reason. They will be cared for at the School Reception Center or ultimately at a General Reception Center.
Remember the relocation of school children will be done as a precautionary action well in advance of a real emergency at Indian Point.
- Please remember: School Reception Centers are not the same as General Locate your childrens School Reception Centers. Both types of centers are shown with their own separate Reception Centers on the large symbols in the legend of the large detailed map in this booklet. detailed map in this booklet.

Other Emergency Information Planning for people with special needs If there is a need for an evacuation due to an emergency at Indian Point the County has plans in place to pick up and transport people, from the EPZ, with special needs who have no other means of transportation. Special needs could include a walking disability, sight or hearing impairment, or need for specialized medical equipment or transportation.
People with special needs would be taken to Reception Centers or other facilities.
It should be noted that nursing homes, hospitals, hospices, etc., within the EPZ have included emergency procedures in their emergency plans. Staff are trained in these procedures to keep these people safe in the event of an emergency.
Residents of such facilities would be transported to host facilities outside the EPZ.
The Voluntary Registry for People with Disabilities and Special Needs is a new program, developed by Westchester County, to identify those residents that may require additional assistance in a major emergency or disaster. To be eligible for inclusion on the Special Needs Registry the applicant must be a resident of Westchester County, living independently (not in a group home or medical facility), and have a physical or mental disability that would require emergency evacuation assistance and/or placement in a specialized shelter. Being on the Registry does not guarantee that any specialized services will be provided, and does not replace the need to dial 9-1-1 in an emergency.
Residents with special needs living in the Emergency Planning Zone who have previously registered for inclusion on the Westchester County list of Non-Institutionalized Mobility Impaired (NIMI); please note that the Special Needs Registry replaces this program. If you were previously registered for NIMI, you must now submit a new application to the Special Needs Registry.
To apply for the Special Needs Registry, or to learn more about the program:
- Dial 2-1-1 on your phone. You will be connected with a trained operator from the United Way 2-1-1 Call Center who can provide additional information and process the application on your behalf.
- Visit www.westchestergov.com/specialneeds, and complete an online application yourself, or with the assistance of a friend or family member.
Protecting your pets If you are directed to evacuate, you will want to take your pets with you.
However, pets will not be permitted inside public Reception Centers (except service animals such as seeing-eye dogs).
Pet owners are encouraged to make a list of places that would accept their pets in an emergency, such as boarding kennels, or friends and relatives outside the EPZ. The county is working to develop limited emergency kennel space at the Westchester Community College. This is being done to accommodate people who cannot make other arrangements for their pets beforehand. For more information on disaster preparedness for your pets or livestock, visit The Humane Society of the United States Disaster Center website at; www.hsus.org/hsus_field/hsus_disaster_center/resources/.

Youll probably never need this booklet, but in Westchester County we believe its important to be prepared. We want you to know we have a comprehensive response plan that would be put in place if an emergency at Indian Point were ever to occur.
This emergency guide, specifically written for communities within 10 miles of the plant, answers many of the questions residents would have in the event of an emergency. The plan -- developed by emergency response professionals in cooperation with three other counties, New York State and Entergy (operators of Indian Point) -- provides information on everything from how you would know there is an emergency to what actions you might have to take.
If there ever is an emergency, you would be given instructions on what to do based on your municipality. However, its important to be informed and know upfront how you might be affected by the emergency procedures.
I hope you will read this booklet and keep it close at hand. Note that the center section is detachable for you to personalize for your own family and carry in your car, purse or briefcase to help you be even better prepared.
Sincerely, Robert P. Astorino Westchester County Executive Recycled Fiber Made in New York
