Alaska emergency officials are once again trying to figure out why cell phones that weren’t supposed to be triggered beeped awake with an urgent tsunami warning on Saturday night.
“You are in danger,” the message read on phones lit up across a huge swath of Alaska. “Move to high ground or inland now.” was detected south of Sand Point, off the Alaska Peninsula. Some people were supposed to get the message, like those living in Sand Point and Kodiak. But others, like Anchorage residents, were not, said Mark Roberts, who runs the State Emergency Operations Center.
“The system worked, it just worked larger area than it should have,” he said. “Our default is always to be safe. And so if there’s any question at all, we like people to take a safe action, to be in a safe area in case there’s a misunderstanding, or there’s an under-appreciation of the level of danger. So we don’t consider it a failure when folks are alerted to a tsunami warning that aren’t in the warning area.” Roberts said it isn’t clear yet who was affected that shouldn’t have been.
