What kind of alert system is the Ashanti Alert?

The Ashanti Alert is designed as a voluntary nationwide network aimed at searching for missing persons, particularly vulnerable populations such as children and individuals with disabilities. This system emphasizes rapid communication and coordination among law enforcement agencies and the community to locate missing individuals quickly and efficiently. It reflects a proactive approach in addressing the urgent needs of families facing the potential tragedy of a missing loved one, facilitating a mobilized search effort.

The focus on missing persons distinguishes this alert system from options related to severe weather notifications, emergency responses to terrorist activities, or local crime notifications, which serve different purposes and contexts in public safety and emergency management.
