What's that? Like emergency notification on mobile?
- evan_ 13y agoSort of, it's a system for alerting the public specifically about kidnapped children. The alerts show up on billboards and they're broadcast on TV and radio, generally within a single town or small area. I think it's in use throughout North America. Usually the idea is they'll send out a description of a car and a license plate, and if you see it you're supposed to call 911 (emergency response number). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_alert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_alert
