Why didn't I receive an Amber Alert?

A little known update in iOS 6 is amber alerts and other emergency alerts. An amber alert was posted in my area but I did not receive an alert. I have the alerts on and notifications on. Is there something else I need to check or have people been missing alerts? This is a big issue in my opinion.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6, PC

I got an email saying this topic was updated. Yeah Ihaven't recieved one alert since turning them off, clearly off works, I'm satisfied. Can't management mark this subject closed?

Whether they can or not, they generally don't unless there is a clear violation of the Terms of Use. You can opt out of further notifications by going to the top right of the page and clicking on Stop Email Notifications.
