Emergency Planning

Living Near Seabrook: 
What You Need to Know

The people who live and work in the communities surrounding Seabrook Station nuclear power plant carry a special responsibility to understand that the risk of an accident — however small — is real. It’s wise to be pro-active and learn what you would do, and where you would go, in the event of a significant radiological release. 

There are 23 communities in Seabrook’s Emergency Planning Zone, (EPZ).
How will I be notified of an emergency or accident at the Seabrook plant? 
Outdoor emergency sirens will make a steady three to five minute sound. If you hear a siren, go inside your home or a nearby building. The sirens will also be able to broadcast special emergency messages to alert people at the New Hampshire beaches.

Tune a radio to an Emergency Alert System (EAS) station. 
These stations will broadcast an emergency message that will provide you with any actions you should take to protect yourself and your family. Staying tuned to the radio might be all you’ll need to do, or you may be told to take different actions if emergency conditions change. Tune in to: 97.5 FM (WOKQ) 106.1 FM (W291CC) or 1450 AM (WNBP). Boaters in the area will be alerted by the U.S. Coast Guard. Channels 16 and 22 on marine radio will also give boaters information. Local emergency management officials — sometimes the town’s fire chief — are the primary contact in case of a nuclear emergency.
Warning sirens are throughout the 10-mile EPZ.
