Amber Alert Notification

sign-up to receive amber alerts by text message or emailAccording to the U.S. Department of Justice, nearly eight hundred thousand children under the age of eighteen go missing in a one year period.  Many of those children are murdered. Amber Alert (America’s Missing: Broadcasting Emergency Response) is a child abduction notification, used in the United States, Australia, France, and UK, among other countries, to alert people when a child has been kidnapped.  Amber Alert was created in 1996 following the death of Amber Hagerman, a nine year old girl who was kidnapped and murdered in her hometown of Arlington, Texas.  Her father, Richard Hagerman, co-created Amber Alert with Bruce Seybert in an effort to save other children from his daughter’s fate.  Amber Alerts notify individuals via, television, radio, road signs, and through services like iAlert.com of the abduction of a child, usually providing the make, model, and license plate number of the vehicle in which they were abducted. There is a network of over one hundred  Amber Alerts in the country, and Amber Alert is credited with saving the lives of over five hundred children. iAlert.com is an emergency and severe weather notification service that informs people of local weather and emergencies, hazardous materials emergencies, civil emergencies, and more. The notifications are sent via either text or email, so a subscriber can receive notifications directly from their phone or laptop.  With iAlert.com, a subscriber not only receives local information on important weather developments and emergencies, he/she also receives Amber Alert notifications.  This way, anyone using iAlert.com can know about an abduction no matter where they are, and have the information to do something about it, possibly even save a life.
