Important Things to Remember
If there is a problem at the Comanche Peak plant, an
emergency siren system may be activated by officials of Somervell
and Hood Counties to alert people within 10 miles of the
plant. The sirens may also be used for dangerous weather or
civil defense emergencies.*
If you hear the sirens, tune to the Emergency Alert
System (EAS) (radio station WBAP, 820 AM or KFJZ, 870 AM, en
Espanol) for information.
If you hear a siren tune to the EAS system. If
no instructions are being broadcast, call the sheriff's office
(254/897-2242 in Somervell County or 817/579-3307 in Hood County.)

* To
help ensure their reliability, the sirens are tested at noon
on the first Monday of each month, except
major holidays. |
