| event text = At 0758 CDT, on March 26, 2008, the Goodhue County dispatcher inadvertently activated the Goodhue County sirens from the primary unit during the conduct of a silent siren test. As per procedure they were to send out two silent signals; however the first was the silent and the second signal was the activation. Upon selecting the alert, they immediately sent out a signal to cancel the activation. Thirty-two of the 117 sirens in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) were activated for approximately 14 seconds. The licensee was notified of the siren activation by the activation signal received on the informer unit in the Technical Support Center (TSC) as well as hearing the sirens being activated. Goodhue County Emergency Management contacted the local radio station at 0805 [hrs. CDT] to notify the public of the false activation. No press release is planned by Xcel Energy. No other press release is planned by Goodhue County. | | event text = At 0758 CDT, on March 26, 2008, the Goodhue County dispatcher inadvertently activated the Goodhue County sirens from the primary unit during the conduct of a silent siren test.
