Kevin McGowan, director of the County of Los Angeles Office of Emergency Management, stated that the erroneous alert was due to a malfunction that was swiftly corrected.
Upon realizing the malfunction, the Office of Emergency Management took immediate action to cancel the false alert and reassure the public about the situation.
