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
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
(Extreme and Severe)
•
AMBER Alerts (missing child alert)
Users may choose not to receive Imminent Threats
(Extreme and Severe) and AMBER Alerts. Alerts
issued by the President cannot be disabled.
