Northern Minnesota is the state from where 200 people had to be rescued from a floating ice chunk .
When the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office and other emergency personnel arrived on the scene, they found a significant chunk of the ice with up to 30 yards (27 meters) of open water, leaving the fishermen stranded, according to a statement from Chief Deputy Jarrett Walton.
Some members of the group were even unaware that the ice floe had broken free. However, Beltrami County sent a message to the fishermen's smartphones informing them that they will soon be rescued in an emergency evacuation "due to the urgency of getting individuals off the ice."
According to the sheriff's department, the alert "enabled alerts to be delivered to mobile phones of those who are not enrolled in the local notification system and supplied GPS coordinates of the evacuation point."
