Amber alert woke me up, despite "do not disturb" setting.

My only option is to disable Amber alerts completely. Got a better solution?

Like many people, this Amber alert took me by surprise, all groggy with sleep. I did not know what app it came from, or how to turn it off. After the second jarring alert, I turned off my phone for the night.

Apple, if you are out there, please suppress the Amber alert sound during my "do not disturb" hours.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

I'm not interested in them so disabling them works for me. Did you check the the App store, may you can disable them and still get them in a more respectful app?

Go to settings/notifications scroll to the bottom and turn off the government alerts you choose.

Settings/notifications scroll to the bottom, the government alerts can be turned off there.
