An Amber Alert (also known as an AMBER Alert) or a child abduction emergency alert is a message issued by a child abduction alert system asking the public for assistance in locating abducted children. The method was developed in the United States.

AMBER is an abbreviation that stands for America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response. It was inspired by Amber Rene Hagerman, a teenager who was kidnapped and ultimately found killed in 1996.
