Emergency Alert System

In the unlikely event of an emergency at the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant, you will be notified through a variety of methods.

The Emergency Alert System will be activated. The Emergency Alert System is a group of radio and television stations that broadcast official information during an emergency. The Emergency Alert System is the direct link between you and the people responsible for your safety. Instructions may be given to you at any hour, day or night, and will include recommendations as to what you should do for your protection. Do not worry if you miss the beginning of an emergency broadcast as the information will be repeated regularly.
