INDIAN POINT EMERGENCY RELOCATION PLAN FOR CHILDREN

Last Updated on Tues, 11 May 2010.  Go to Westchestergov.com for more info  on your school if it is not listed here.  At the first indication of a potential problem at the plant, emergency officials might decide to relocate schoolchildren as a precaution.

The School Reception Centers provide temporary care for children awaiting pick-up by parents. Children who are relocated to School Reception Centers will be registered and will stay there, under the care of school officials and daycare providers, until parents can pick them up.
