To ensure they are functioning properly, it may be necessary to test some sirens more than once.\n\nAlthough a siren might sound multiple times, this is part of the testing. Because these are tests, local broadcasting stations will not interrupt regular programming to broadcast Emergency Alert System(EAS) messages.\n\nFor more information about nuclear emergency preparedness and outdoor warning sirens, residents can visit duke-energy.com/NuclearEP.\n\n ←CU ALERT: ONS sirens sounded; No emergency at the plant\n University to Close Thursday at 7 p.m.→",
