The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Sirens are a network of 50 sirens located within a 10-mile radius of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station located in San Clemente, California. There are 21 WPS-2810 , and 27 WPS-2806, sirens. These sirens are activated by the three Jurisdictions the sirens are placed in, which is San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, and San Clemente.
