State-of-the-Art Siren System Placed in Service
for Limerick Generating Station
Changes to Monthly Siren Tests Effective July 2nd
Exelon has implemented a new state-of-the-art siren
system within Limerick Generating Station’s 10-mile
Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The 165 new outdoor
warning sirens incorporate a battery powered backup system
and an upgraded communication system that enable full
functionality in the event of an electrical power outage.
Testing for Your Safety
The three-minute, full volume test will now be conducted
twice a year on the first Monday of June and December
at 2 p.m.
Beginning in July, other monthly testing will consist of a
short ‘growl.’ Residents in the 10-mile EPZ should expect to
hear a 20-30 second, reduced volume test. This test will remain
scheduled for 2 p.m. on the first Monday of each month.
Residents should contact their county at the following
numbers if they have any siren concerns:
Berks County (610) 374-4800
Chester County (610) 344-5000
Montgomery County (610) 631-6530
The warning sirens are one of several methods used
by county emergency management authorities to provide
notification of emergencies. Individual counties may activate
the sirens to warn the surrounding community of any
emergency condition.
The sirens are not a signal to evacuate. In an actual emergency, residents should tune to one of
the county Emergency Alert System radio or television stations for further information.
