I found the settings, but National Alerts can't be turned off. I turned off Amber Amber Alerts because there's really nothing I can do when I get an alert at 1:00 am that says something like "13 month old Liza Smith abducted by Hispanic male". Am I supposed to go out in the middle of the night looking for every Hispanic male with a baby and call the police?
I went through my history and it looks like more than half of the missing children alerts we're actually sent as Severe Threat Alerts rather than Amber Alerts. I don't know what the rules are for each category, but I would think that some kid that I don't know being missing isn't a severe threat to me.
I have all emergency notifications turned off on my company phone. I guess we will see.
