An additional test of the new sirens in STP’s emergency notification system is scheduled for Noon on Wednesday, August 4. All 32 sirens will sound for about three minutes. During the testing, radio stations KMKS FM 102.5 and KKHA FM 92.5 will broadcast an announcement that the activation is only a test.

The sirens are key components of a system to alert residents about an emergency at the plant or other emergencies, such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and fires. During STP’s more than 20 years in operation, the sirens have been sounded only for tests and to warn residents about dangerous weather.
