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

What is 9-1-1?
9-1-1 is the universal emergency telephone number designed to
give citizens an easy to remember number when they need the
assistance of the Police, Fire, or Ambulance (EMS) Services in an
emergency.
How Do I Use 9-1-1?
When you have an emergency, remain calm and dial 9-1-1. When
the call taker answers, tell them what your emergency is, location
of the emergency, your name and call back phone number. Don’t
hang up until the call taker tells you to.
When Should I Dial 9-1-1?
You should only dial 9-1-1 in an emergency. A good rule to
remember is dial 9-1-1 to:
SAVE A LIFE • PREVENT A CRIME • REPORT A FIRE
9-1-1
POLICE • FIRE • MEDICAL
EMERGENCY
Before An Emergency Happens
An emergency, be it a natural disaster such as a flood, winter
storm, power outage or a terrorist attack, can occur quickly
and without warning. Although we cannot prevent emergencies
in Orange County, there are two simple things you can do now
