Wireless Emergency Alerts

Wireless Emergency Alerts, also known
as CMAS or PLAN, is a U.S. national
emergency alert system. Emergency
alerts can pop up to tell you about a
national or local crisis. After you close an alert, you can reopen
it by tapping Apps

>

Emergency Alerts.

Tip: Emergency alerts have a special sound and vibration that
is two seconds long, followed by one second, then another one
second.

To choose which types of alerts you receive, tap Apps

>

Emergency Alerts > Menu > Settings. The U.S. and

local governments send these alerts through your service
provider. So you will always receive alerts for the area where
you are, and you won’t receive alerts if you’re outside of
the U.S.
