Remove Missing Person Alerts from Public Safety Alerts

The Amber alert system is for missing kids. I've turned off Amber alerts on my phone, but want to keep informed of weather hazards and the like so I have Public Safety Alerts turned on. Unfortunately, missing adult alerts activate my Public Safety Alerts. How do I turn off missing person alerts while keeping all other Public Safety Alerts?

If this is not currently possible, I hope Apple developers will work with public agencies to put all missing person alerts into the Amber alert system and reserve the Public Safety Alerts for those things that pose a risk to the general public.

That decision depends on your locality and how they code alerts. Missing persons (Amber, Silver, etc.) would ideally use the AMBER alert system. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202743
