LA County Mistakenly Sends Evacuation Alert Intended for Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills
Jan 10, 2025, 12:08 AM
Just before 4 PM on Thursday, an emergency evacuation alert was mistakenly sent to all residents of Los Angeles County via the Wireless Emergency Alert system, causing widespread confusion. The alert, intended for residents near the Kenneth Fire in the Woodland Hills area, was erroneously broadcast countywide due to a technical error. Los Angeles County officials, including Supervisor Janice Hahn, quickly acknowledged the mistake and issued a correction, clarifying that evacuation orders were only in effect for specific areas impacted by the fire. The Los Angeles County Emergency Management Department assured residents that there are no widespread evacuation orders and urged them to refer to official sources for accurate information.
