Last night at approximately 11:00 pm CT/10:00 pm MT, the Nebraska State Patrol issued a required monthly test of the Emergency Alert System. The tests are conducted on the third Tuesday of each month and issued by NSP, Nebraska Public Media, and the NEMA on a rotating basis. 1/3

The tests alternate monthly between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. The tests are only supposed to activate the Emergency Alert System for broadcast media. During last night’s test, the Wireless Emergency Alert system was inadvertently activated as well. 2/3

The WEA sent the test alert to cell phones throughout the state. The Wireless Emergency Alert is the system used to disseminate AMBER Alerts or other critical emergency information. We apologize for any inconvenience or distress this error may have caused. 3/3

The public has shown tremendous power and ability to help recover an abducted child or vulnerable missing person. Thank you all for your willingness to spread the word in these emergency situations.

This may be a good time for a couple reminders about these systems. 1/5

AMBER Alerts activate the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system. That's the system that takes over your cell phone and makes the loud alert tones. NSP issues AMBER Alerts at the request of local law enforcement agencies, when situations meet the criteria. 2/5

Endangered Missing Advisories are a secondary system that allows for a broader range of circumstances, such as vulnerable missing adults or children. NSP also issues EMAs at the request of local law enforcement agencies, but the alerts are different than an AMBER Alert. 3/5

None of this is supposed to be under water.

Here's what the Missouri River looks like just across from Nebraska City into Iowa. If you ever drive to Kansas City, you're probably familiar with this interchange of I-29 and Highway 2. The Missouri looks like an ocean.

This doesn't capture nearly all of it. But you can see the normal Missouri River channel between the tree lines.

This is just south of Highway 2 and Nebraska City looking south.

This is Nebraska City and the miles-wide Missouri River behind it.
