Shelter-in-Place or Evacuation
Officials might recommend that people either take shelter indoors or evacuate an area. It is critically important that you follow the recommended course of action. Staying home when instructed to evacuate or driving around when urged to stay indoors could expose you to danger unnecessarily.
NOTE: If you or someone you know might not respond to warning sirens or tv or radio broadcasts due to impaired hearing or other factors, please contact your County Emergency Management Agencies to register.
If Instructed to Shelter-in-Place:
Go indoors and stay there. Close all doors and windows and shut off any systems that draw in outside air, such as furnaces, fireplaces and air conditioners. Keep listening to the radio or TV for updates. Keep pets inside and shelter farm animals. If traveling in a vehicle, close windows and vents.

Warning Sirens
Communities across the United States may use outdoor warning sirens for many purposes. Sirens are not exclusive to nuclear power facilities. Sirens are designed to warn the public of many hazards, including fires. The warning sirens for the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ), when activated, emit a four-minute steady sound. If you hear a siren, you should tune to one of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) stations listed in this site for official information.
Siren Testing
Warning sirens surrounding the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant are tested weekly. Annual full sound testing is conducted on the first Tuesday of May.
Siren Malfunction
A siren may malfunction and inadvertently sound. Some indications of a siren malfunction are a siren sounding for more than five minutes, or a siren sounding with no accompanying message on the Emergency Alert System.
Report siren malfunctions to Monroe County 911 Center.
Hyper-reach
As a backup plan to the Ginna sirens, your home phone number could be called by Monroe County’s Hyper-Reach alerting system. You do not need to register your home number. However, you do need to register online if you would like your cellular phone to be notified as well. Visit www.monroecounty.gov/safety-ecd and sign up for Hyper-Reach alerts.
In the event of an emergency or disaster, some residents may need assistance during evacuation and sheltering. The Office of Emergency Management maintains a voluntary registration list of individuals to make response agencies aware of those who need assistance. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL AND USED ONLY IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OR DISASTER. It does not guarantee the agencies will be able to provide assistance in every type of emergency. Wayne / Monroe Counties shall not be made liable for any claim based upon the good faith failure to exercise or perform a function or duty on the part of any officer or employee in carrying out a local disaster preparedness plan. If you no longer live at the address to which this form was sent, please indicate your correct address.
