EMERGENCY MESSAGE ACCIDENTALLY SENT TO OCEAN REEF RESIDENTS DURING PRACTICE DRILL
OCEAN REEF, FL – Tuesday morning, during an annual multi-agency practice drill regarding Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant, Monroe County Emergency Management inadvertently transmitted a test emergency notification to residents living only in the Ocean Reef community.
The accidental message urged residents to watch for additional information regarding a drill that was being conducted with several local and state agencies. There was no emergency. Two corrective messages to clarify the error and false alarm were immediately sent to Ocean Reef residents.
Monroe County Emergency Management officials apologize for the accidental transmission of the message and have discussed the error with their partner agencies to avoid mistakes in the future.
