Hudson County Emergency Alert Sirens

Since many officials view Hudson County as the first line of defense for the New York metropolitan area, the county is now installing an emergency warning system to alert and notify the public to major emergencies. In early September, the county awarded the emergency warning system contract to Kevco Electric, Co. of Bloomfield, New Jersey, and Acoustic Technology, Inc. (ATI) of Boston, Massachusetts. The cost of this contract is provided by a 2006 Homeland Security contract.

In 2005, ATI was contracted to install four outdoor high-powered speaker stations at Virginia Tech.. In December 2006, phase two of the siren project commenced. Phase two allowed for the installation of two additional sirens to be added to the campus’ outdoor warning system.

ATI Systems Protects the World Trade Center During Construction

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s reconstruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) complex is underway with ambitious plans for five new skyscrapers, a memorial park and museum, a new transportation hub, a retail complex and a performing arts center. The safety and security of the construction and planning team are paramount. Therefore, in September of 2008 ATI Systems of East Boston, MA was awarded the contract to provide an emergency warning system on the construction site.

The ATI system will provide audible alerts and intelligible voice commands through its outdoor speaker system. In case of any hazardous event, weather-related or man-made emergency that requires an evacuation or relocation from the various construction zones within the site, the ATI system will immediately notify the construction and planning team. ATI Systems designed and manufactured a complete system and installation is now underway.

ATI Systems Completes Extensive New Indian Point Project

ATI Systems of East Boston, MA was selected to provide a complete emergency warning system for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) surrounding the Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan, NY. Operated by Entergy, Indian Point is a nuclear facility on the east bank of the Hudson River with unique safety requirements mandated by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Indian Point needed a reliable system to alert the public in case of any emergency that could affect the surrounding communities. ATI Systems’ extensive installation is one of the largest mass notification systems in the world covering four New York counties and a wide geographic area of 10 miles in radius. The ATI system will provide audible alert tones and intelligible voice commands in certain areas via its outdoor speaker system in case of any hazardous event requiring immediate action. It was approved by FEMA for use in August of 2008.
