Extensive communication networks have been established to notify the public near a nuclear power plant in case there is an accident. Upon notification, members of the public should listen carefully to their Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio or television stations to learn of the appropriate actions to be taken.

In areas near operating nuclear power plants, provisions have been made to provide the public with information on what actions they should take in the event of an emergency and how they will be notified. If you live near a plant, you should obtain and study this material which is available on the utility's website or through the county emergency management agency.
