Your phone will display the options that your carrier is providing with their service


If I tap Settings > Notifications on my 6 year old phone and scroll down to see GOVERNMENT ALERTS, I have the option to enable or disable......


AMBER Alerts

Emergency Alerts

Public Safety Alerts

Test Alerts


If Emergency Alerts are not displayed on your phone, you might want to ask the customer support folks at your carrier about this.
