Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Long Beach) has sent letters to L.A. County and software company Genasys requesting information on 'precise failures' that led to erroneous alerts.

More than a dozen members of Congress signed letters calling for a further look into the emergency alert messaging system that sent an erroneous evacuation warning to thousands of Los Angeles County residents in the midst of January's wildfires.

The whole system completely broke down,” said Rep. Robert Garcia, who launched the probe alongside thirteen other members of Congress.

Congressman Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, hopes this investigation will prevent tragedy in future emergencies and minimize confusion of Los Angeles County residents.

Los Angeles leaders are calling for answers weeks after an alert was mistakenly sent​ to hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles County residents, warning them to evacuate their homes in the midst of the January's destructive wildfires.

A group of Southern California congress members joined the call for answers about what caused evacuation warnings to be mistakenly sent to thousands of residents during the height of last month’s wildfires.
