It supplies power to much of western New York and is a critical component of the northeastern power grid. Niagara Falls itself is an international landmark with massive tourism creating complex emergency management requirements.

The plant operates in close proximity to the international border with Canada creating binational emergency coordination requirements. Niagara Falls tourism brings millions of visitors creating large temporary population emergency planning needs.
// Evacuation & Shelter Guidance
Lewiston and Niagara Falls communities should be aware of Niagara River flooding risk during ice jam events each winter. The international border creates complex evacuation routing.
