2. Types of Wireless Emergency Alerts:
a. Presidential Alerts are a special class of alerts only sent during a
national emergency.
b. Imminent Threat Alerts include natural or human-made disasters,
extreme weather, active shooters, and other threatening
emergencies that are current or emerging.
c. Public Safety Alerts contain information about a threat that may not
be imminent or after an imminent threat has occurred. Public
safety alerts are less severe than imminent threat alerts.
d. America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response (AMBER) Alerts
are urgent bulletins issued in child-abduction cases. Rapid and
effective public alerts often play a crucial role in returning a missing
child safely. An AMBER Alert instantly enables the entire community
to assist in the search for and safe recovery of the child.
