Facebook Partners with Amber Alert Program

Facebook has partnered with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to bring Amber Alerts to its millions of users. The announcement was made at a press conference yesterday, the day before the 15th anniversary of the tragic abduction of Amber Hagerman, who the alert system is named after.

Each state, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington D.C.  has its own Amber Alert page. Facebook users can now sign up to receive the alerts for their geographic location.
