The alert notification system is being evaluated to determine the effectiveness of sirens located in communities near the depot, and whether some sirens need to be relocated or added.

Emergency response personnel would like an opportunity to test a specific monitoring kit for effectiveness and reliability. A proposal would then be sent by the counties to the regional CSEPP office detailing the use, purpose, and capabilities of the requested monitoring equipment.
