NJ Emergency Alert System Accidentally Activates, Sends Nuclear Warnings to Some TVs

A nuclear power plant warning was accidentally issued for several counties in New Jersey Tuesday. 

A false alarm that went out to some people’s television sets Tuesday might have scared some in New Jersey.

A nuclear power plant warning issued in Cumberland and Salem counties was sent out by mistake.

The message that was sent out said “a civil authority has issued a nuclear power plant warning for the following counties/areas.”

A short time later, the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management tweeted that the emergency alert was “false.”

It said that message went out in error.
