The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) issued a formal apology today at 2:15 PM for mistakenly sending out an alert about an earth tremor. The false notification was released earlier in the day through various English language services provided by HKO, including their website, mobile application, and social media platforms.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the alert was the result of a system configuration error during routine testing procedures. Once the mistake was identified, the HKO promptly retracted the false tremor report. The release of the erroneous alert may have caused unnecessary concern among the public.
In response to the incident, the HKO expressed regret for any inconvenience caused and assured the community that a thorough review of system configurations and testing protocols would be conducted. The goal is to prevent similar errors from occurring in the future and to maintain the public's trust and reliance on the HKO's alert systems.

經過調查發現，該警報是在日常測試程序中出現系統配置錯誤所導致的。一旦發現錯誤，HKO立即撤回了該虛假的地震報告。這則錯誤警報可能引起了公眾的不必要擔憂。
對於此事，HKO對造成的不便表示歉意，並保證將進行全面的系統配置和測試協議審查。目標是避免類似錯誤再次發生，並確保公眾對HKO的警報系統的信任和依賴。
