The State of Michigan is responsible for evaluating the severity of a nuclear emergency and ordering actions to protect the public and the food supply. If you live within 10 miles of the Holtec Palisades Plant, your first warning may be an alert issued by local authorities. If you are notified, turn your radio or TV on and tune it to a local station for immediate information transmitted through the Emergency Alert System (EAS). If you live farther away, your first notification could come from the news media or EAS broadcasts. Subsequent orders, information, and advisories specific to the agriculture sector will be announced through the news media. You may contact the Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development directly if you have questions about agriculture in a real or potential emergency.
