Wireless Emergency Alerts
Imagine you are playing outside and suddenly there is a loud sound coming from all around you. It's like a siren that you hear at school but much louder. That sound is a way for grown-ups to tell you and your family that there might be an emergency.
Now, imagine you have a phone that can make loud sounds like that too. That's what wireless emergency alerts are! Your phone can receive a message from people who want to let you know about an emergency like a tornado, a hurricane, or even someone who is missing.
But the grown-ups who send the message can't just send a text message because you might not notice it if you are playing or sleeping. That's why the message makes a loud sound and shows up on your phone screen whether you are using it or not.
Now, it's up to your family to make sure you know where your phone is, so you can hear the alert and stay safe. Remember, when you hear the loud sound, it's important to listen to what your grown-ups say and do as they tell you. Always stay safe!
