Inside back cover 1A Guide for You and Your FamilyIndian Point is a nuclear power energy generation facility, located inBuchanan, New York. It is owned and operated by Entergy Nuclear.

The plant is on the east bank of the Hudson River in Westchester County, close to portions of Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties. Emergency planners in Westchester are well trained and equipped to protect the public in the event of an emergency. For Indian Point, they have developed a comprehensive emergency plan in cooperation with emergency planners from the other three counties, New York State and the Indian Point Energy Center. The plan includes information and procedures for protecting the public in a wide range of possible nuclear emergencies. Part of the emergency plan includes communicating with the public.The information in this booklet is for you, the people in the communities close to Indian Point. Emergency planners want peopleto have this information because it will help keep you safe in theunlikely event of an emergency at Indian Point. You should read this booklet carefully, well in advance of anypotential emergency. Discuss it with your family. Fill in your familys information. Keep this booklet in a safe place for future reference.

Step-by-StepEmergency PlanningYoull find much of the information you need on the large map located in the back

of this booklet.

1 2 3 4 5As you read this booklet, youllbe asked to write in your familys own emergency information.

At the end of this step-by-step process, you will have gathered together important infor mation that will keep you and your family safe in an emergency.

2Radiological Emergency anemergency where radioactive

materials in significant concentrations escape into the environment. If the concentrations of the materials are high enough, they could be dangerous to

ones health. Radioactive ReleaseIntroductionor leak of any radioactive materials into the environment. Incident LevelsThe federalgovernment has designated four

classifications for incidents at nuclear power plants. Each classification corresponds to the degree of seriousness of an

incident. See page 19 for details. EAS-Emergency Alert System Specially designated radio and TV stations that will broadcast safety information in the event of an emergency. EAS stations are listed on the opposite page. Emergency SirensThere aresirens placed within the 10-mileradius of Indian Point. In the event of an emergency at Indian Point the sirens may sound continuously for

4 minutes.EPZEmergency Planning Zone The area designated by the federal government within a 10-mile radiusof a nuclear power plant for which plans have been put in place to protect people in the event of a radiological emergency.

KIThe chemical symbol for adrug called potassium iodide. KI-

potassium iodide comes in the form of tablets and liquid. KI protects only the thyroid gland from just one kind of radiation radioactive iodide. It can beobtained through your county or

municipality and kept on hand in your home. KI is also available over the counter (without a prescription) at local phar macies.

In the event of a nuclearemergency, you could beinstructed to swallow a KI-

potassium iodide tablet. It should be taken only when directed by

public officials. Protective Action Any actiontaken to protect the publics health in response to an emergency.

Protective actions in a radiological emergency could include

sheltering in place (staying indoors), evacuating the area and/or swallowing KI-potassium

iodide. Sheltering Also calledsheltering-in-place. This is a protective action in which you are

instructed to stay indoors with windows and doors tightly shut and all ventilation systems turned off. Under certain circumstances, it is the better way to limit exposure to radio active materials. EvacuationA protective actionintended to prevent or reduce exposure to radioactive materials.

In an evacuation, you would be instructed to leave your home and go outside of the Emergency Planning Zone to the home of a relative or friend or to a Reception Center. Reception Centers are

identified on the map in the middle

of this booklet. Reception Center A locationoutside of the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) where people who have evacuated can go. You can findyour Reception Center on the map

in the middle of this booklet.

Atthe Reception Center, evacuees would receive initial assistance, including monitoring or screening of persons for radioactive contamination, receive KI

potassium iodide, first aid or directions either to a place to stay or a medical facility. School Reception Centers Schools outside of the Emergency Planning Zone where school children are relocated during a radiological emergency. If children are in school during an incident, at the first indication of a problem, they will be taken by bus to a School Reception Center as a precautionary action. Your children will be cared for at these Centers.

You can find your childrens School Reception Centers on the map in

the middle of this booklet. Community Emergency Planning Glossary 3Tune in for informationIf you hear the emergency sirens, tune in your radio and TV to an EmergencyAlert System (EAS) station for further information.Remember:The sounding of the sirens is not a signal to take any actions other than to listen to your radio or TV.EAS StationsAM Radio FM Radio Television WFAN 660 WRRV 92.7 WCBS Ch 2WABC 770 WHUD 100.7 WNBC Ch 4 WCBS 880 WFAS 103.9 WNYW Ch 5WFAS 1230 WABC Ch 7WALL 1340 WLNA 1420Emergency information could also be carried on the following stations:AM Radio FM Radio TelevisionWRKL 910 WNEW 102.7 NEWS 12 HUDSON VALLEY WTBQ 1110 WGNY 103.1 WRCR 1300 WXPK 107.1WINS 1010Siren AlertsIf there is a problem at Indian Point that may require people to take action, theCounty Executive may decide to sound the emergency sirens. These special sirens are located throughout the 10-mile radius around Indian Point known as the Emergency Planning Zone or EPZ (pg 2).Siren Testing:The sirens are tested periodically throughout the year. Sirentests are announced in advance through local news media.Telephone, Cell Phone and E-Mail NotificationIn addition to the siren system, officials may use a number of other state-of-the-art communications technologies to alert the public. These include high-speed telephone and e-mail alerting services, including the NY Alert system.

NY Alert is a statewide system which requires registering. The telephone alerting service allows residents to input additional numbers that are to be contacted in the event of an emergency. Anyone can sign up for NY Alert

online at www.nyalert.gov/Community Emergency Notification System (CENS)Westchester County has its own communications system to contact the public directly in case of a large-scale emergency. We can use e-mail, text messaging, and/or phone messages to provide information to you before, during or after a major disaster. This information might include updates about emergency conditions, what to do or where to go. This added effort is intended to supplement not replace information you will receive from television, radio, and other sources. It should not replace individual and family emergency planning. To register for Westchester County emergency alerts, go

to http://www.westchestergov.com/censHow will I know if theres an emergency at Indian Point?

1Emergency Alert System (EAS) stations listed at left would be broadcasting further safety information. Find out which EAS stations work best for you and record those stations below.

stepMy Emergency Alert Stations:AM Radio _______________FM Radio _______________

TV _____________________Enter this information here, and then on theEmergency Plan Summary, page 14.In an emergency, the sirens may sound continuously for 4 minutes.

The sirens are not a signal to evacuate. They are a signal to turn on your radio or television and tune to an Emergency Alert System (EAS) station near you. EAS stations are listed below. The EAS stations will broadcast the nature of the emergency and what you should do. Again, sirens are not a signal to evacuate.

4What 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 radiusaround Indian Point, located in Buchanan, New York, is called the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).How will I know if my area is affected during anemergency 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. To find out how far you are from Indian Point and also if you live or work in an area that would be affected in an IndianPoint emergency, log on to www.westchestergov.com/IndianPoint

stepEnter this information here, and then on theEmergency Plan Summary, page 14.Please follow directions carefully. If your area is being evacuated, public officials will make every effort to allow sufficient time to evacuate before there is danger of exposure to radiation. You will have enough time to gather enough personal supplies for three to five days away from home.

Consider taking things such as clothing, medication, baby

supplies, money and important papers. The checklist on the inside back cover can help you plan these

supplies.What is a protective action and what should I do if mycommunity is directed to take protective action?If there were an emergency at Indian Point, officials might sound the emergencysirens and then use the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to broadcast instructions for people to take protective actions. A protective action could direct people in certain communities to stay inside behind closed windows and doors. This action is called shelter-in-place. Or people could be directed to leave their community and go to a place outside the Emergency Planning Zone.The appropriate actions to be taken will depend on conditions at the plant. EvacuationEvacuation is one protective action. After evaluating information about theemergency at Indian Point, county officials may direct people in some areas to evacuate and leave the area. The order to evacuate would be given through EAS broadcasts on radio or TV. People who are directed to evacuate who do not have another place to go cango to a Reception Center. These centers are located in schools outside the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). Safety and public health officials will be present at each center. Medicalattention, information about places to stay and other services will also be available. The centers corresponding to your area are found on the detailed

map in this booklet. Evacuation instructionsIf you are instructed to evacuate because of an emergency, you should:

  • Be certain that your area is one being ordered to evacuate. Do not evacuate unnecessarily.
  • If your area is being evacuated, you should arrange to leave as soon as possible by car or by emergency bus. Keep your radio on and your car windows closed and use only recirculating air conditioning or ventilation if your car is so equipped.
  • Refer to the Evacuation Supplies Checklist on page 21 for items to help determine what you should bring with you during an evacuation. If you have children in school, they will probably have already been relocated by school authorities. You can pick them up at their School Reception Center which is shown on the map in the middle of this booklet.
  • Evacuate to a location outside of the EPZ, using the most timely route. If you do not have another place to go, then go to a Reception Center designated for your area which is shown on the map in this booklet.
  • Taking KI is also a protective action that may be ordered. When people are instructed by public officials to evacuate, they will also be instructed to swallow a dose of KI. KI is potassium iodide, an over-the-counter medication that can protect only one part of your bodyyour thyroid from only one type of radiation, radioactive iodine. Please see page 16 for more details.

__________________________My emergency bus stop (should I need one):

__________________________Study the suggested routes toyour Reception Center on thelarge map in the middle of this booklet and write down the route here. Note your bus stop as well.

stepEMERGENCY BUSESIf you do not own a car, free emergencybuses will pick you up along routes located near your home. The buses will take you to your Reception Center.

Emergency bus routes closest to you are

identified in the pull-out section in the middle of this booklet. You will be notified by TV or radio when pickups

will begin.Please see the Evacuation Supplies Checklist on the inside back cover and evacuation route information in the

middle of this booklet.Enter this information here, and then on theEmergency Plan Summary, page 14.Special instructions if there has been a release ofradiation from Indian Point:Staying indoors - shelter-in-placeSheltering-in-place is another protective action option. This action may berecommended when there is a brief release of radiation from the Indian Point Energy Center. Wind and weather conditions could cause the radiation to pass through the area very quickly. In this scenario, sheltering-in-place inside would provide better protection than driving away in a car. See the box below for shelter

instructions.Sheltering-in-place may also be the preferred action in cases where bad weather (for example a snowstorm) prevents efficient evacuation. Again, if you hear the emergency sirens, turn on your radio or TV to receive Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages with further instructions. Shelter-in-place instructions If you are instructed to remain indoors (shelter-in-place) because of an emergency, you should:

  • Keep family and pets inside.
  • Close all windows and doors.
  • Turn off heaters, air conditioners and any other ventilation systems.
  • Extinguish fires in fireplaces and close dampers.
  • Stay tuned to the Emergency Alert System (EAS) stations.
  • Avoid using telephones, including cell phones, to prevent overloading the system and interfering with emergency use.County officials will inform you through announcements on radio and TV stationsof a release of radiation from Indian Point and the actions you should take. People who have evacuated to stay with friends or relatives or to other locationsoutside of the EPZ should shower and launder their clothes to remove possible contamination. Washing will effectively eliminate contamination. If necessary, you can go to your designated Reception Center to be monitored for

contamination and to be decontaminated.

Emergency Plan SummaryThis summary page is your familys personal Emergency Plan. Fill out this page carefully with your information. Discuss this booklet with your family and keep it in a safe, easy-to-find place for future reference. Remember:* If you hear emergency sirens sound continuouslyfor 4 minutes, turn to your Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio or TV station for further instructions.

  • EAS broadcasts may instruct you to stay indoorswith windows and doors shut, a protective action

called sheltering-in-place.* Or, you may be instructed, depending on where you live, to evacuate. Do not evacuate unless your area is specifically instructed to do so.* You may be instructed by safety officials on EASbroadcasts to swallow a KI-potassium iodide pill.

Know where you have stored your supply, and take it with you if you are evacuated.

Other InformationIf an emergency takes place, your family members might not be at home. In case this happens, it may be a good idea to agree on a place outside the EPZ where everyone would meet, such as at a Reception Center or a friends or relatives house outside the EPZ. You should also agree on a check-in phone number for the familya friend or relative who lives outside the area code youre in. Everyone would call this person to check in with him or her if anemergency occurred.

It could happen during hours when your children arein 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. Relocatingschool 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 wouldthen 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.School staff are trained annually on emergency relocation procedures. Parentsshould be confident that their children are safe and secure with the same staff that cares for them while in school. Parental pick-up.Many schools have plans in place to allow parents to pick uptheir 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.

stepEnter this information here, and then on theEmergency Plan Summary, page 14.Your childrens school and thecorresponding School Reception Center is shown on the detailed map in this booklet. Officials will use TV and radio broadcasts to keep you informed about school relocations.If your childs school is relocated

  • If your children attend different schools they may be sent to different SchoolReception 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 notthe same as GeneralReception Centers.Both types of centers are shown with their own separatesymbols in the legend of the large detailed map in this booklet.* School Reception Centers will be used only if students need to be relocated during school hours.

  • If your child or children are in a day care, nursery school, after-schoolprograms or other settings located within the EPZ, they are subject to the same emergency procedures as public and private schools. Check with their provider on emergency plans for their location.IMPORTANT* If parents would like to authorize another person to pick up their childrena grandparent or baby sitter, for example they should contact their childs school at their earliest convenience. They must follow that schools procedures

for formally identifying the person who would pick up their child.

16Potassium Iodide, known by its chemical symbol KI, is an over-the-countermedication. In the event of a serious nuclear plant emergency, KI has safety value as a supplement to sheltering-in-place and evacuation. It reduces the risk of thyroid cancer from exposure to radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodine could be among the materials released in a severe emergency. KI protects only the thyroid gland from exposure to radioactive Iodine. It does not protect any other part of your body, and it does not protect you from other forms of radiation.One KI-potassium iodide tablet protects the thyroid gland from radioactiveiodine for approximately 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. It is most effective if taken immediately prior to exposure, as directed. However, thyroid protection can still be achieved by swallowing a KI-potassium iodide tablet up to six hours after radiation exposure.Westchester County has KI available free of charge to people and places ofbusiness within the EPZ. The state Department of Education has also made KI available to schools within the EPZ. Most communities in the EPZ also have KI for distribution to the public before an emergency. Contact your local town, village or city hall, or call the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services to learn how to get KI to have on hand should an emergency occur.If you previously received KI, check its expiration date. If expired, replace it.Pre-Emergency KI Distribution Sites:To have KI in hand as a precautionary measure, Potassium Iodide (KI) pills are available in the following municipal centers located within the

10-mile EPZ:OBTAIN KI-POTASSIUM IODIDE FORYOUR FAMILY FREE OF CHARGE* Contact your local municipality* KI-potassium iodide is also availablefor purchase over the counter at many

18 Planning for people with special needsIf there is a need for an evacuation due to an emergency at Indian Point the County has plans in place to pick up andtransport 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 proceduresin 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 Needsis a new program, developed by WestchesterCounty, 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.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 whocan 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.Other Emergency Information Protecting your petsIf 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 HumaneSociety of the United States Disaster Center website at; w w w w.h s u s.o r g/h s u s_f i e l d/h s u s_d i s a s t e r_c e n t e r/r e s o u r c e s/.Residents with special needs living in the Emergency Planning Zone who havepreviously 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.

1-800-942-1452Resources for Emergency Planning 20How do government officials makedecisions during an emergency at Indian Point?State and county emergency planners, supported by hundreds of highly trained safety experts, police, firefighters and other first responders, have developed extensive procedures for an emergency that might occur at

Indian Point.If an emergency were to occur, thecounty executives in the four counties surrounding Indian Point (Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange) would receive information directly from the nuclear plant, as well as from county and state emergency staff and New York State health officials. During an emergency, the county executives maintain

continuous communication with each other and with state and federal

officials.Together, government officials woulddecide what protective actions, if any, the public should take. Their decisions

and instructions would be communicated to the public through the Emergency Alert System (EAS) broadcasts as well as through other

news media.Why would we be directed to shelter-in-place in some situations and evacuate in others? Shelter-in-place and evacuation are two possible protective actions that you may be instructed to take during an emergency. The goal of protective actions is to minimize the publics exposure to a radiological release.

Elected officials will decide what specific protective actions are best for the public to take. They consider a wide range of expert advice and

information, including data on the amount and duration of the release, wind direction and weatherconditions. The actions of sheltering-in-place or evacuation each have advantages depending upon the

situation.How could an evacuation succeed when traffic often doesnt move even

during rush hour?If there is an emergency, there is likely to be heavy traffic leaving the area.

Police and other emergency personnel are trained in traffic control -they will do what is needed to keep traffic moving in any emergency. In addition, traffic control points staffed by law enforcement personnel and fuel and towing services are planned along main evacuation routes to promote traffic flow. Would all areas be evacuated at the

same time?

In most instances, only people living in specific areas would be told to evacuate. Therefore, it is most important for people to follow directions from public officials carefully to ensure a successful evacuation.Because of road conditions andpopulation density, it is vital that people do not evacuate unless they are instructed. Unnecessary evacuation could cause greater congestion on the roads and put people in those areas that are being instructed to leave at risk. What is radiation?Radiation is energy, such as heat, light and radio waves, that moves at high speed through space or matter. One type of radiation is produced by so-called radioactive materials.At every one of our countrys morethan 100 nuclear power plants, every safety precaution is taken to isolate, shield and prevent radioactive materials from escaping to the environment.How can we measure our exposure to radiation?Radiation can be easily measured with various instruments, including Geiger counters. During emergencies, the

county dispatches field teams with specialized equipment to measure radiation levels. Can a nuclear power plant explode

like a nuclear bomb?No. Radioactive fuel in a nuclear plant has very low levels of the type of

element that could cause a nuclear

explosion.All nuclear power plants in the U.S. are designed with containment buildings of concrete and steel. The 1986 accident at Chernobyl, Ukraine occurred in a nuclear plant that did not have a containment building.How can I protect my livestock and agricultural products?If you have livestock or agricultural products, useful information is available on the New York State Emergency Management Offices website at:

http://www.semo.state.ny.usor by calling 518-292-2311 and askingfor the brochure Radiological Emergency Information for the Agricultural Community.Will food and supplies be available

for my pet?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.

WESTCHESTER COUNTYOFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

200 Bradhurst Ave-Unit 4Hawthorne, New York 10532http://emergencyservices.westchestergov.comINSIDE: Important safety information on protecting your familyA MESSAGE FROM COUNTY EXECUTIVE ROBERT P. ASTORINO

Dear Westchester resident:

Youll probably never need this booklet, but in Westchester County we believe its important to beprepared. 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 manyof 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 yourmunicipality. 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 detachablefor 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. AstorinoWestchester County ExecutiveRecycled FiberMade in New York
