Is official information on AMBER Alerts or the AMBER Alert program available on any social networking sites?
To receive AMBER Alerts in your area via Facebook, visit the AMBER Alert Facebook page. From this page click on "AMBER pages" and then click on the page(s) for states and/or territories from which you wish to get alerts. You may "Like" as many state/territory pages as you wish. When a child goes missing in your area, you will begin receiving updates.

Additionally, the AMBER Alert page on the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) website, lists other ways to receive AMBER Alerts including Twitter and Instagram (Follow @AMBERAlert and Missing Kids on Instagram to receive rapid AMBER Alert notifications on your Twitter and Instagram feeds and share the alert with your followers). The NCMEC website also features ways to connect your Google and Yahoo! pages with the AMBER Alerts.

To learn more about the AMBER Alert program, please see the Office of Justice Programs' AMBER Alert website.
