An evacuation order for the state of Connecticut was broadcast by mistake on some cable television systems and radio stations Tuesday afternoon at approximately 2:17 p.m.
Eyewitness news has looked into this and confirmed that:
THERE IS NO STATE OF EMERGENCY AND NO EVACUATION ORDER FOR THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT.
State emergency management officials believe <font color="red">someone pressed the wrong button</font> today, and instead of running a test of the emergency broadcast system, midday TV viewers and radio listeners were told the evacuate the state.
"There is absolutely no evacuation or state emergency," said Kerry Flaherty, of the Office of Emergency Management. "It was an erroneous message."
We'll have more on Eyewitness News starting at 5. But again...
THERE IS NO STATE OF EMERGENCY AND NO EVACUATION ORDER FOR THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT.
