The Municipality of Kincardine owns, operates and maintains nine public alerting sirens within three kilometers of the Bruce Power nuclear generating station. The sirens are meant to alert the public of an incident at the Bruce Power site. The test is to confirm the activation and the function of the Public Alerting Sirens.
The Public Alerting Sirens are part of the notification system for those within three kilometers of Bruce Power site.
The system is activated by the Municipality of Kincardine on behalf of the Bruce Power and the Province of Ontario and are an important part of emergency preparedness.
A full volume test of the public alerting sirens will take place on July 15, 2021 between 9am and 11 am. with all 9 sirens operating simultaneously for up to 3 minutes.
