At this point in LA, we've seen layer upon layer of mind-boggling incompetence, stacked up like a massive turd sandwich.
And now for the cherry on top ...
Yes, around 4 p.m. yesterday, LA officials sent out an emergency alert to everyone in Los Angeles County, telling them to evacuate immediately.
A few minutes later, after adding even more chaos to an already chaotic situation, this message came scrambling out:
From the LA Times:
'A little bit ago, earlier, a wireless emergency alert was intended to be sent for an evacuation warning area in the Kenneth fire. A malfunction occurred, and the wireless emergency alert went to the entire county,' Kevin McGowan, director of the County of Los Angeles Office of Emergency Management, told reporters at the city's Emergency Operations Center.
'Upon realization of this malfunction, the Office of Emergency Management and the county's Emergency Operations Center took immediate action to issue a cancellation and then also issue a second wireless emergency alert to correct the misinformation from the malfunction.'
On the bright side, we can hope that the people in charge of the alert system were diverse queer women of color!
