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.
