An agent in my office recently updated her Facebook status and said,

“The first 3 hours of an Amber Alert are the most critical. You can go to www.wirelessamberalerts.org and sign up for free text messaging. This is even for people that don’t have text plans. IT COULD SAVE A CHILD’S LIFE.”

Thanks to being a Mom of two daughters, I often worry about their safety, along with the safety of their friends, the girls in my daughter’s Girl Scout troop, and my nieces and nephews. Given the success of finding Elizabeth Smart after she was missing for a year and that Jayce Duggard finally returned to her family, we must have hope that other missing children can still come home.

I went to the link and followed the simple instructions. After putting in my mobile phone number, I clicked that I agreed to the terms of use, then proceeded to the zip code section. Here you pick cities from which Amber alerts are issued and I picked Nashville, LaVergne, Smyrna, Murfreesboro, and Clarksville. If you don’t know the zip codes, you can run a quick search on tennessee zip codes and links will be readily available.

Signing up for text message notifications was simple. I’m hoping that I won’t get many Amber Alerts, but if I do - and since I’m a Realtor and often out and about - I’ll be on the lookout.
