Wireless Emergency Alerts (U.S.)
Wireless Emergency Alerts, also known as CMAS or PLAN, 
is a U.S. national emergency alert system. Emergency alerts 
can pop up to tell you about a national or local crisis. After 
you close an alert, you can reopen it by swiping up 
 >   
Settings > Apps & notifications > Advanced > Wireless 
emergency alerts.
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, swipe up 
 >   Settings > Apps & 
notifications > Advanced > Wireless emergency alerts. The U.S. and local governments 
send these alerts through your service provider. So you will always receive alerts for the 
area where you are, and you won’t receive alerts if you’re outside of the U.S.
