Corps to Conduct Test of Emergency Evacuation Siren at Long Branch Campground

The Corps of Engineers will be conducting a test of an emergency evacuation siren at Long Branch Campground, located directly below Center Hill Dam, on Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009 at 1 p.m.
This siren serves the Long Branch and Buffalo Valley Recreation Areas immediately below the dam. Additionally, neighboring private landowners downstream of the dam may possibly hear the siren. The test will last for approximately one minute.
This is only a test.
In the unlikely event of a breach of the dam, the siren will be activated and an evacuation plan put into effect to assist the visiting public in the Long Branch and Buffalo Valley Recreation Areas. Anyone with questions should call the Center Hill Lake Resource Manager’s Office at 931-858-3125 or 615-548-4521.
