Depends on the jurisdiction. In Canada, it’s all the same.

  It's absolutely crazy that whoever decided to create the warning system in Canada decided to roll "amber alerts" and "presidential alerts" into the same alert. So now I can get woken up in the middle of the night for an alert for a lost child hundreds of kilometers away that I can't do anything about - and, even if I turn off amber alerts, they still come in as a presidential message. This has happened numerous times.

    If I lived in Canada and got a presidential alert, I'd be pretty alarmed. If I got a prime minister alert, less so.

    Can't you turn off Presidential alerts?

      No. It's the one level you can't turn off.
