Emergency Alerts
Emergency alerts can pop up to tell you
about a national or local crisis. After you
close an alert, you can reopen it by
touching Apps > Emergency Alerts.
Tip: Emergency alerts have a special
sound and vibration that is two seconds
long, followed by one second, then
another one second.
To choose which types of alerts you
receive, touch Apps > Emergency
Alerts >Menu >Settings. The U.S. and
local governments send these alerts
through your service provider. So you will
always receive alerts for the area where
you are, and you won’t receive alerts if
you’re outside of the U.S.
