Wally Hunt, coordinator of the Jefferson County Office of Emergency Management, said that a recent malfunction in the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program tone-alert radio system here was caused by a “minor glitch” that was “tracked down and corrected.” Hunt said he doesn’t anticipate the problem occurring again.
Static and false alarms occurred during the late night hours of Saturday, May 30, and early morning hours of Sunday, May 31. Hunt said the problem was caused by a “false feed” of a severe weather alert within a siren, which prompted the disorder with the radio system.
