// Strategic Significance
Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant on the Chattahoochee River in southeastern Alabama operates two reactors near the Alabama-Georgia-Florida tri-state border. The Chattahoochee River below the plant flows into Georgia and Florida eventually reaching the Gulf of Mexico. The plant sits in a moderate hurricane corridor from Gulf storms.
// Civilian Impact Assessment
The 50-mile ingestion zone from Farley extends into southwestern Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. The Chattahoochee-Apalachicola River system below the plant flows through Georgia and Florida to the Gulf of Mexico. Gulf seafood fisheries downstream would face restrictions during any significant release event.
// Evacuation & Shelter Guidance
10-mile EPZ: Evacuate via US-431 or AL-95. Monitor Alabama EMA broadcasts. 50-mile zone: Dothan area and southwest Georgia and Florida Panhandle residents monitor AEMA and Georgia GEMA guidance. Chattahoochee River fish consumption restrictions would apply downstream.
