Amber Alerts are emergency notifications issued to find abducted children quickly. These urgent messages are disseminated through various channels, including radio, television, and wireless devices.
The system was established in the United States in memory of Amber Hagerman. Amber was a young girl who was tragically abducted and murdered in 1996. Amber Alerts aim to galvanize the public’s help in locating missing children and bringing them home safely.
