An emergency alert announced on TV and radio stations in Illinois this morning appears to be the result of a human error in Washington, D.C.
"Apparently, there's some kind of test being run that shouldn't be going out," Lawrence said. "(IEMA) is getting besieged with phone calls from all over the state."
Rather than a test code being sent to the satellites, the Presidential code was sent instead.
"we don't know why the federal govt used a 'hot' or active code rather then a test code."

Nope, not correct!
We do not know that for sure.
I'm merely giving an example of one incident that happened back in June where presidential codes were used by mistake.
