Shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday, phones across Los Angeles County lighted up with an emergency alert test, the latest example of challenges that government officials are experiencing with wireless emergency alert systems.

It wasn’t immediately clear how many people received the errant alert from South Pasadena, which read, “This is a test of the South Pasadena WEA system. There is no emergency.” South Pasadena officials said the test was supposed to remain in the city’s internal system but was mistakenly transmitted to the public. L.A. Times employees in Long Beach, downtown L.A. and Redondo Beach reported receiving the test.

Wireless emergency alerts are sent out through a partnership among the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Communications Commission, cellphone providers and local officials, who geographically code the alerts so they appear on phones in areas affected by public safety warnings.

The errant test was reminiscent of an alert that was erroneously sent to 10 million phones across L.A. County during the January firestorms, warning them to prepare to evacuate due to a fire. The alert was meant to be sent only to a small number of phones near Calabasas.

On Tuesday evening, public safety staff with the city of South Pasadena were performing an internal test of the WEA system when the message was accidentally sent to phones across the county, city spokesperson Jennifer Colby said.

The cause of the erroneous alert is under investigation. However, it is currently believed to be the result of human error and not a malfunction of the platform called Finalsite that the city uses to send alerts, she said.

Colby said the city apologized for the inconvenience caused by the mistake.

Any fallout from the accidental test alert probably is minimal, but the ramifications of similar mistakes can be serious during active emergencies.

For example, the erroneous alert that went out during the January firestorms stoked panic and confusion. That was compounded by “echoing alerts,” when the message pinged repeatedly and seemingly at random.

A federal report that looked into that alert issue found that the company contracted by the county to send out the emergency alerts, Genasys, experienced a technical issue that caused the initial, widespread alert. The “echoing” alerts were a symptom of cellphone providers experiencing overload due to the high volume and long duration of the alerts, the report found.

Walnut Hill Dental has officially transitioned to its new name: Pasadena Dental Office and Orthodontics.

PASADENA, CA, UNITED STATES, October 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Walnut Hill Dental has officially transitioned to its new name: Pasadena Dental Office and Orthodontics. The change reflects a broader scope of care and a clearer identity for patients seeking more than just routine dental visits. The practice continues to operate at 181 N Hill Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91106, under the leadership of Dr. Arkady Tsibel, DDS, PhD, a dentist with over 40 years of clinical experience. The updated website is https://www.dentalpracticepasadena.com/, and the new contact number is +1 (626) 219-7180.

While general dentistry and orthodontics remain central to the practice, the office also provides restorative procedures, cosmetic treatments, and emergency care. Patients come in for cleanings and bite correction, but stay for the kind of full-service support that includes crowns, whitening, and urgent same-day appointments when needed.

“Our patients deserve clarity,” said Dr. Arkady Tsibel. “This name helps them understand what dental services we offer without second-guessing. It is about making care easier to find and trust in our dental services.” See more about the doctor here: https://www.dentalpracticepasadena.com/meet-the-doctor/

Alongside the name change, the office has expanded its dental consultation hours and streamlined its intake process. Patients can expect the same attention to detail, now paired with a brand that speaks more directly to their needs.

Existing appointments remain valid, and no action is required from current patients. Anyone with questions is encouraged to call the office or visit the updated website.

Looking back on Chappell Roan’s meteoric rise to mainstream pop last summer, it’s easy to say it was inevitable with how many people wanted to see her live–she broke the record attendance at Lollapalooza last summer because of this want; however, when embarking on the “Vision of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things” tour, intimate venues were chosen instead of the arenas and I was lucky to grab a ticket for myself and a friend go see her live at Brookside at the Rose Bowl. The intimacy of the concert, while totaling about 20,000 audience members, was just enough to get the concert going without crowd rushes or fear of safety, along with connection with the crowd surrounding us and enough room to dance our hearts out.

The theme of the concert, as set by Chappell every time there’s a new show added to her tour, was “mermaid,” and audience members partook in as many ways as they could. Beachy attire and sandals were worn all over the venue, with special pieces also littered in, like a mermaid tail and Spongebob Squarepants inflatable costumes. Everyone took part in the theme, and with that, the unique experience of being a part of the Los Angeles stops of the “Visions” tour took shape. Merchandise, sold throughout the venue, also littered the crowds arriving and leaving the venue. With sweatshirts, like the brown Subway sweatshirt I picked up, bandanas brought out during “Red Wine Supernova,” or large fans used for cooling off in the pit were all available for varying prices throughout the venue.

After a DJ set by Trixie Mattel, a drag performance by Rhonda of “A Club Called Rhonda,” and an amazing set by Hemlocke Springs, Chappell came on at 9:15 to screaming crowds and opened up with the upbeat “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl.” With the crowd jumping and screaming the lyrics out for one of her biggest hits, Roan was effortlessly able to transition to “Femininomenon” to keep the energy going. This effortless transition between songs translated well throughout the rest of the concert, even going from high-energy, dance your heart out songs like “Guilty Pleasure” straight into “Casual,” a ballad that had audience members crying their eyes out. Roan navigated her setlist with the knowledge of how to interact with fans, providing a dance tutorial for “HOT TO GO!” and bringing out her own bandana for “Red Wine Supernova,” bringing fans together for a universal experience of having fun and being free to be ourselves while doing so.

As the set continued, flashlights lit up different parts of the pit to show that someone needed help. I really want to commend Roan for her ability to navigate these signals as she was able to provide attention to medical staff without interrupting the concert, something seasoned performers are able to do with ease and concern for their fans safety. As Brookside only provided general admission, there can be a fear of crowd crushes or heatstroke when going into the crowd. Roan was flawless on stage, and there were people all around handing out water to audience members, whether it’d be staff at the venue or fellow audience members. The community at Roan’s concerts doesn’t go unnoticed, and for that I’ll be eternally grateful.

With the concert continuing on, Roan took to the stage to talk with fans at the last leg of the concert. She expressed her love for the city of Los Angeles, the inspiration behind her hit song “Pink Pony Club,” and how the continuing raids by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) damaged the city’s safety and love, with eruptions of cheers among the crowd. The acknowledgement of how ICE raids affect a city that once was a safe place for anyone alike was met with universal praise by the audience. WIth moments like this, it’s important to acknowledge how the city of Los Angeles came together in a moment like this to advocate for what’s right and what was damaging, and Roan sent a message with this talk: no matter who you are, you will be safe at her concerts–something artists can acknowledge more, especially as safety slips in more and more places across the United States.

With the last song of the night being “Pink Pony Club,” Roan once again cited her love for the city she was playing in, saying that “This [song’s] for you, Los Angeles.” With a celebration of the city that once was not affected by ICE raids and a sense of fear among its citizens, the audience members celebrated being themselves in a city that accepted them. If there’s one message I believe Roan wanted us to take away from this concert, it would be to “never be afraid to fight for the causes you believe in and the safety to be yourself.” For the greater Los Angeles area, nothing has been more important to say.
