(KTNC)--Residents in southeast Nebraska and northwest Missouri received an emergency message Sunday afternoon that officials say was sent by mistake.
Emergency management officials in Richardson and Nemaha Counties say the National Weather Service sent a test emergency message to individuals in Richardson and Nemaha Counties in Nebraska and Atchison County in Missouri.
The message, sent at approximately 3:50 Sunday afternoon, indicated there was an unknown emergency situation at Cooper Nuclear Station. A second message was sent about 20 minutes later saying to disregard the initial alert, which was sent in error.
Officials say there was no emergency and the nuclear plan Donations are being sought for the annual Falls City Clothing Giveaway.
