Help keep your community safe by staying abreast of emergency alerts

Smart phone Emergency and Amber Alert Notifications

Your iPhone has the capability to inform you of goings-on in your local community when it comes to weather emergencies and the Amber Alert system. All you have to do to receive these alerts is tick a couple of toggles in the notification system setup in settings. I’ll show you how to do that.

In the previous image, you can see that my local community had a child abduction and an Amber Alert was generated when non-custodial parents took their biological child to New Mexico.

The Alert gave city, plate#, vehicle description and an update. The kid was eventually saved after an alert store attendant responded to the Amber alert by contacting police.

How to:

On the iOS Springboard you will open the settings.app:

Tapping on the Notifications and then scrolling all the way to the bottom you will see the AMBER Alerts and Emergency Alerts toggles
