Wireless Emergency Alerts (U.S. & some

Wireless Emergency Alerts, also

Emergency alerts can pop up to tell  
you about a national or local crisis. After you close an alert, 
you can reopen it by touching Apps

More > Emergency broadcasts.
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 
 >  Settings > More > Emergency alerts. 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.
