OMG! I've been saying this has been a problem for YEARS! Even without #ClimateChange, Route 1A can be full of traffic from June to September -- and if there was a meltdown at #SeabrookNuclearPowerPlant, there will be NO ESCAPE! So, factor in the fact that the BEACH protecting Route 1A is quickly disappearing!!! Not to mention what would happen if the MARSH surrounding Seabrook (with it's concrete already degrading from exposure to seawater), were to RISE!

Tarr details 'new threat' to Salisbury Beach
By Matt Petry | [email protected] Apr 30, 2024

"Tarr emphasized that one of the big reasons the beach is such an urgent issue is that it protects Route 1A.

"Route 1A is the subject of a planned project for reconstruction that literally is going to cost millions of dollars, so there’s a transportation component here, and we’re exploring the synergy potentially between investment in the road and investment in the beach that protects it,' Tarr said.

"Route 1A is also an emergency route for the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station."

Pretty hard to evacuate if the roads are flooded! Or if it's summer tourist season!

Mass. and N.H. Release Updated #SeabrookNuclearPowerPlant Emergency Guides

WHAV News Staff By WHAV News Staff | January 8, 2024

"#Massachusetts and #NewHampshire have both released updated brochures to guide residents in the event of an emergency at the Seabrook nuclear power plant.

"Each state outlines its own communities and emergency plans and procedures for its portion of the 10-mile radius emergency planning zone. New Hampshire communities are #BrentwoodNH, #EastKingstonNH, #ExeterNH, #GreenlandNH, #HamptonNH, #HamptonFallsNH, #KensingtonNH, #KingstonNH, #NewCastleNH, #NewfieldsNH, #NewtonNH, #NorthHamptonNH, #PortsmouthNH, #RyeNH, #SeabrookNH, #SouthHamptonNH and #StrathamNH. In Massachusetts, they are #AmesburyMA, #MerrimacMA, #NewburyMA, #NewburyportMA, #SalisburyMA and #WestNewbury. While a small portion of #HaverhillMA falls within the 10-miles radius and the city borders a number of the communities within the zone, no specific evacuation plans are listed for the city.

"Methuen is also not within the zone, but Methuen High School would accept Amesbury students in the event of an emergency.

"Brochures tell parents, for example, where their children in schools or day care centers will be taken in an emergency and where 'reception centers' are located in the event of an emergency. For example, West Newbury parents are directed to Tewksbury High School, while if evacuation is required, the Masconomet Reception Center, 20 Endicott Road, Boxford, will open to receive, register, monitor and decontaminate (if necessary) evacuees and their vehicles. Evacuation routes for each community are also listed.

"According to a Friday press release from the New Hampshire Department of Safety, the updated brochure details the four emergency classification levels and instructions to be followed in the event one is declared. It lists the ways in which residents, business and visitors may be notified of a potential event at Seabrook Station and what to do during a shelter-in-place or evacuation."
