Mannington Township School
Emergency Evacuation
As you may know, a portion of this county could be affected in the event of a problem at the Artificial Island Nuclear Generating Station. While it is highly unlikely that a plant condition could warrant protective actions, it is wise that our residents be trained and prepared. The state, county, and township have combined resources to prepare a detailed plan for any emergency. This notification is part of a public education program to acquaint you with situations that may affect your children while in school.
In the event of an emergency, the first action may be in-place protection/sheltering, which means that students would remain indoors to reduce or eliminate exposure to radiation. If the plant condition continues, long before the public is in danger, an evacuation will be ordered. Specific plans have been developed for transportation, routes, and drivers to remove school children to a safe location. Mannington Township School students will be transferred to Woodstown High School (unless conditions warrant another location), where they will be registered and cared for until parents arrive. Please listen to the stations listed above, or to your Connect-ED call, for specific information and directions.
In the event of an on-site emergency, students may be evacuated to the Assembly of God Church Hall, located next to the nursing home on Route 45 in ManningtonTownship.
