Emergency Alerts

Emergency alerts can pop up to tell you about a national or local crisis. After you

Tip: Emergency alerts have a special sound and vibration that is two seconds long, followed by one second, then another one second.

To choose which types of alerts you receive, touch Apps > Emergency Alerts > Menu > Settings. The U.S. and
