What is Radiation?

Radiation is energy, such as heat, light or radio waves,which moves through space or matter at high speed. Itcan be easily detected and measured using specializedinstruments. In very large amounts, radiation can damageliving cells.

Radiation comes from many natural and common man-made sources. Radiation from the sun and stars, radonfrom bedrock, radioactive elements in the foods we eatand materials we use to build our homes all come fromnatural sources. These natural forms of radiation are partof what is called background radiation.

Man-made radiation comes from sources such as X-rays,other medical procedures, microwave ovens and electricpower plants.

The effect of radiation on the human body is measured inunits called millirems. The average background radiationexposure in this area is about 600 millirems per year.About 50% of exposure to radiation in the U.S. comesfrom natural sources; the other 50% comes from man-made sources.

I Special emergency sirens that produce a continuous, four-minute tone would alert people within 10 miles of Indian Point to tune to an Emergency Alert System (EAS) station for information about an emergency at Indian Point. If you hear the continuous, four-minute tone, listen to one of the EAS stations listed in this booklet for official information on what you should do.

These sirens are tested periodically throughout the year. Siren tests are announced in advance through local news media.

In addition to the sirens, a high-speed telephone service, an e-mail alerting service or web-based services such as NY-Alert could be used to notify and inform the public.

Anyone can sign up for NY-Alert online at

https://users.nyalert.gov

What is NY-Alert?

It is New York State’s All-Hazards Alert and Notification web-based information portal. The NY-Alert website contains critical emergency-related information including instructions and recom-mended protective actions developed in real-time by emergency service person-nel. By signing up for NY-Alert, you can receive warnings and emergency infor-mation via the web, your cell phone, email and other technologies. Signing up for NY-Alert is free. You can modify what type of information you receive or unsubscribe at any time. It is a tool to provide you with critical information when you may need it most.

How would I find out what I should do in an emergency?

Officials would use the Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio and television stations to provide information and instructions to the public. EAS stations in this area are listed on the next page.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

What might I be instructed to do?You could be instructed to shelter-in-place, to evacuate, to take potassium iodide (KI) or to take no action. Officials would base any emergency instructions on the situation at Indian Point and where people were most likely to be affected. People in one area might need to take one action, while people in another area might take a different action or no action at all.

In all cases, avoid using telephones and cell phones to prevent overloading the system and interfering with emergency use.

Shelter-in-Place

If your area is instructed to shelter-in-place, you should remain indoors and limit the ways outside air can enter. You should:

• Keep family and pets inside

• Close windows and doors

• Turn off air conditioners and ventilation systems

• Extinguish fires in fireplaces and close dampers

• Listen to radio or TV for emergency information

EvacuationIf your area is instructed to evacuate, you should gather the things you would need for a three-day stay and leave promptly.

Where should I go, if I have to evacuate?

You should go to the home of a friend or relative or other location outside the 10-mile area around Indian Point using the timeliest route. If you do not have another place to go, you can go to the Reception Center assigned to your area using the routes shown on the attached map. Temporary shelters will be available for those who need a place to stay.

If there has been a release of radioactive materials from Indian Point, monitoring and decontamination will be available at Reception Centers.

Potassium iodide is an over-the-counter medication that can block radioactive iodine from entering the thyroid gland if there were a serious emergency involving a large release of radioactive material. Potassium iodide is often referred by its chemical symbol, KI.

If Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages direct people in your area to take potassium iodide, follow the instructions on the packaging, or those provided in the EAS message.

During an emergency, potassium iodide is available at Reception Centers.

To obtain KI prior to any emergency for you and your family:

• Contact the Putnam County Bureau of Emergency Services at 845-808-4000 to obtain KI free of charge

• KI is also available for purchase at many pharmacies. • Most schools in the Emergency Planing Zone (EPZ) have a supply of KI. Check with your school administrator to be sure. • Reception Centers maintain a supply of KI for evacuees.

What about facilities such as group homes, adult day care, and treatment facilities?Group homes, adult day care and treatment facilities within the 10 miles of Indian Point have emergency plans to keep their residents safe, including provisions for transporting residents to host facilities.

If you have a family member in a facility and require information about their emergency planning initiatives, please contact the facility administrator.

What about people with special needs?

If you have a special need, such as mobility impairment, visual or hearing impairment, or need specialized transportation or equipment, prepare an emergency plan with family, friends or neighbors. If necessary, the County will make special arrangements for you.

If you have special needs, please fill out the registration card in this booklet and mail it In so we can make arrangements to help. If you know someone who might need assistance filling out the card, please offer to help them. Even if you mailed in a card last year, please do so again to keep our records up-to-date.

For deaf, hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind, and speech-disabled-TTY & NY Relay

In case of emergency, TTY users should call the TTY-equipped 911 Emergency Communication Center in Putnam County. The 9-1-1 dispatchers have TTY equipment and are trained to respond to all needs of people in Putnam including those who are deaf or have hearing loss.

If you use a TTY and cannot obtain emergency service via 911, you may call 7-1-1 and tell the Relay Operator you have an emergency situation. However, it may take longer to get through. 7-1-1 (NY Relay) is NOT a substitute for deaf, hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind, and speech-disabled residents who need emergency services.

What about pets and livestock?Pets and livestock would not be permitted in Reception Centers or temporary shelters (except for service animals, such as seeing-eye dogs). Pet and livestock owners are encouraged to explore alternatives for their pets and livestock, such as boarding kennels, friends or relatives outside the 10 mile area.

If you have livestock or agricultural products, useful information is available from the New York State Department of Agriculture Web site www. or call 1-800-554-4501 or call your local Cooperative Extension Office.

The county is developing limited emergency kennel space at Reception Centers. This is being done to accommodate people who cannot make other arrangements for their pets beforehand. Pet owners should plan to bring their own supplies, including food, leashes, cages and carriers etc. Trained volunteers may be available to assist owners with pet care and feeding. Please be mindful that space at these locations is limited, so we encourage everyone to make other plans for their pets before the emergency.

Leave No Animal Behind• Arrange with friends or relatives to provide

temporary shelter for you and/or your pets.• Make a list of pet-friendly hotels and motels

outside your area. (You can look them up onlineat www.petfriendlytravel.com orwww.petswelcome.com)

• Ask your veterinarian and boarding facilities ifthey provide emergency care and boarding duringa disaster. (Also identify an alternate veterinarianor boarding facility outside the 10 mile area .)

Identify all your pets:• Microchip your pet.• Make sure your pet is wearing a collar or

harness with identifying tags on it. Includeyour phone number and an alternate phonenumber of someone outside your area.

• Put leg bands on all birds and ID tags on allpocket-pet cages.
