Wireless Emergency Alerts (U.S. & some countries)
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 swiping up
Settings > Apps & notifications > Advanced > Wireless
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, swipe up
notifications > Advanced > Wireless 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.
