Emergency Alerts allows customers to receive geographically-
targeted messages. Alert messages are provided by the US
Department of Homeland Security and will alert customers of
imminent threats to their safety within their area. There is no charge
for receiving an Emergency Alert message.
There are three types of Emergency Alerts:
• Alerts issued by the President
• Alerts involving imminent threats to safety of life
• AMBER Alerts (missing child alert)
Customers may choose not to receive Extreme Alerts, Severe Alerts,
and AMBER Alerts.
Important! Alerts issued by the President can not be disabled.

3. Scroll to the bottom and select Emergency alerts. All alerts are
enabled by default.
