You can receive emergency and government alerts on your iPhone and Apple Watch. In the event of an emergency, here's what you might see:

  • Alerts issued by your country or region's government
  • Alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life
  • Alerts for extreme weather conditions
  • AMBER alerts (America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response)*

*AMBER alerts aren't available in all countries or regions.
