States and local governments are even using public safety alerts to issue important coronavirus pandemic messages, such as when high surges of COVID-19 cases happen in a specific area and where you could get tested. Examples include 'shelter in place' advisories and 'boil water' warnings.

Public Safety: These less-severe alerts are for threats that are not considered to cause imminent danger or for threats that occur after an imminent threat has happened.You'll also see these alerts used for human-made disasters, active shooters, and terrorist attacks. The most frequent ones are for extreme weather conditions and life-threatening natural disasters, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, monsoons, earthquakes, wildfires, volcano eruptions, lightning storms, tsunamis, mudslides, extreme heat, and considerable or catastrophic flash floods. Emergency: These alerts are for things considered imminent threats.And some lawmakers are trying to also include hit-and-runs in Amber Alerts. Amber Alerts aren't just for children either - they can be sent out for any person's disappearance. These alerts are sent out as soon as possible to aid in recovering a missing or kidnapped child. In some cases, they could include a photo of the abductee, abductor, or car.

These details could include a name or description of the abducted child, name or description of the abductor, license plate or description of the vehicle that child was last seen in, and more.

Amber: AMBER is an acronym for 'America's Missing Broadcast Emergency Response,' which uses EAS to send vital details of very recent child abduction cases.

The jolting alerts you see on your iPhone come via the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) system, which is maintained by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service (NWS), whom also maintains the Emergency Alert System (EAS), the system that disseminates alerts to non-wireless devices such 'radio and television broadcasters, cable systems, satellite radio and television providers, and wireline video providers.' These alerts are limited to 360 characters on supported devices. They do not use GPS to track you down - they're broadcast over cell towers in the affected locality - so you can get them anywhere you are, whether you live there or not.ДЇederal, state, local, and tribal government agencies and public safety officials send out these alerts through the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) to wireless carriers, who then issue the alerts to devices in the targeted area. All of these alerts and warnings are issued by government agencies and occur in a specific cellular coverage zone in a locally targeted area. You could see and hear five main types of government alerts on your iPhone: Amber, emergency, public safety, presidential, and test.
