Sirens: What they mean for the community
Ascend Performance Materials' Pensacola plant uses the siren system as a way to notify the community to take action during emergency situations. We also test the system periodically.
The sounds vary depending upon the actions required. Please listen to the videos below to familiarze yourself with our alert system.
Test alert
We sound this alert to test the system. Testing occurs at noon on the first Sunday of each month.
Shelter-in-place alert
When you hear this sound, please go indoors and stay indoors until you receive the all-clear alert.
Evacuation alert
When this alarm sounds, please go indoors and prepare to evacuate the area. Evacuation instructions will come from Escambia County's Division of Emergency Management via Alert Escambia.
All-clear alert
When we sound this alert, you're clear to return to your normal activities.
