Duke to test McGuire sirens

Written by 

Sirens located around McGuire Nuclear Station will be tested Wednesday, Oct. 12, at approximately 11:50 a.m. No public action is required during this three-minute test. By testing the sirens, state and county officials and Duke Energy ensure the sirens are operating properly.

This full-cycle siren test is performed once each quarter. County emergency officials are responsible for sounding the sirens. Hearing a siren does not mean to evacuate. The siren sounding is a signal for residents to tune to a radio or TV station in their area that would carry an emergency alert message. County officials would use these stations to provide information to the public.
