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). For more
information, please contact your wireless provider.
Emergency alerts allows customers to receive geographically-
targeted messages. Alert messages notify 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)
Users may choose not to receive Imminent alerts (extreme and
severe) and AMBER alerts.
Note: Alerts issued by the President cannot be disabled.
