Emergency Alerts

This device is designed to receive wireless emergency alerts
from the Commercial Mobile Alerting System (CMAS) which
may also be known as the Personal Localized Alerting
Network (PLAN). If your wireless provider has chosen to
participate in CMAS/PLAN, alerts are available while in the
provider's coverage area. If you travel outside your provider's
coverage area, wireless emergency alerts may not be
available. For more information, please contact your wireless
provider.
Emergency Alerts allows customers to receive geographically
targeted messages. Alert messages are provided by the US
Department of Homeland Security and 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 (Extreme and
Severe)
•
AMBER Alerts (missing child alert)
Note: Alerts issued by the President can not be disabled.
Customers may choose not to receive Imminent Threats
(Extreme and Severe) and AMBER Alerts. Alerts issued by the
