  • Residents received subsequent follow-up messages instructing them to "disregard" the false alerts, with additional incorrect notices reported.
  • Genasys claims it could not replicate the error that led to the misinformation and emphasizes the new software safeguards designed to avert future incidents.
  • The city's investigation continues, focusing on ensuring the alert system effectively protects the public during emergencies.
