Text Messages Could Save Lives
|
With a visit to www.wirelessamberalerts.org and a few simple keystrokes, you can sign up to receive AMBER alerts as text messages on your wireless device for the area in which you live. The national Wireless AMBER Alerts Initiative is a voluntary partnership between the wireless industry, the United States Department of Justice, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to distribute AMBER alerts via text messages.
Statistics show the first three hours after a child's abduction are the most critical to recovery efforts. Approximately 200-250 AMBER alerts are activated nationwide each year, but you will only receive a text if an AMBER alert pertains to the geographical areas you select.
