In Illinois we have amber alerts for missing kids.
What do they call it where you are?
My guess would be to link them somehow.
I never looked into it to see if each state might have an app that would push notifications to your phone.

Just went digging around, thru Verizon I set up text messages to my phone for my area.

I’m going to bump this, because we just had an Amber Alert (missing child, likely in danger) go out here in CT… Usually a vehicle is associated with these alerts, including a description & license plate. It would be a great pop-up alert for Waze to have, something that would pop-up for all users when one is issued or when they login. I posted this one with a chit-chat, but not everyone sees/pays attention to those…
And iOS has Amber Alert built-in. Potentially even easier.
I have a personal Android phone & a work iPhone… AND I’m subscribed to the CT Alert system on both (text) and 2 different email accounts… Nothing went off last night except the TV alert & my work twitter blew up with details…
AMBER Alert for the US in Waze is finally now a reality. Something for other countries is needed.
Yes, I necroed an old thread because it is exactly relevant and little discussion about this feature this 2012.
