WEA messages aren’t push notificationn, nor are they SMS messages like Australia uses. They are a separate system. Our phones are configured to pop up the message over everything, and they default with a loud, unique alert tone.
Some WEA messages can be blocked; some cannot.
They aren’t supposed to be used to just send links; they are supposed to send the actual message. This is the first time I’ve heard of an Amber Alert that didn’t include details about the suspect and victim.
