If you hear emergency sirens screaming Wednesday morning around 11:10 don't panic: It's only a test.

State and local officials will test the early warning siren system around the Surry Power Station Wednesday at approximately 11:10 a.m. A steady, three-minute tone will be sounded by 68 sirens in Williamsburg, Newport News and the counties of Surry, James City, York and Isle of Wight. The sirens are located in a 10-mile radius of the plant.

The next test of the Surry siren system will be Wednesday, June 9.
