Amber Alert

Amber alert

An Amber alert or a child abduction emergency is a message distributed by a child abduction alert system to ask the public for help in finding abducted children. The system originated in the United States. The Amber alert was created in reference to 9-year-old Amber Rene Hagerman, who was abducted in Arlington, Texas, on January 13, 1996, and found murdered four days later. Alternative regional alert names were once used; in Georgia, "Levi's Call"; in Hawaii, "Maile Amber Alert"; in Arkansas, "Morgan Nick Amber Alert"; in Utah, "Rachael Alert"; and in Idaho, "Monkey's Law". Although the system was named for Hagerman, "AMBER" officially stands for "America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response", an example of a backronym. In the United States, the alerts are distributed via commercial and public radio stations, Internet radio, satellite radio, television stations, text messages, and cable TV by the Emergency Alert System and NOAA Weather Radio.
