San Luis Obispo County
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- San Luis Obispo County will be conducting annual maintenance on the Early Warning System sirens beginning on July 19.
The County is working with PG&E to inspect and test 131 sirens in the area. This is to help ensure that the system is ready during emergencies.
The sounding of the Early Warning System sirens is an indication that the Emergency Alert System has been activated and the public should tune to a local radio or television station for emergency information and instructions. Although the Early Warning System sirens were installed and are maintained as one of the requirements related to the operation of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, the sirens can be used for any local emergency where there is a need for the public to take action.
