San Onofre nuclear power plant to test sirens
If you hear some loud sirens in south Orange County tomorrow, no need to be alarmed.
Each year, federal law requires the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station to test its emergency sirens.
So between 10 a.m and noon, the power plant will turn on its 52 sirens in northern San Diego County and southern Orange County. Each siren blast will last three minutes.
You’ll be able to hear them in Dana Point, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano and other neighborhoods around that area.

Flyers have already gone out to homes, businesses and schools in those areas to warn them about the siren test.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
