Abstract: 

Amber Alert is a program intended to speed up the response time when a child is reported missing. The objective is to direct resources searching for the child and, if possible, find him or her unharmed. Silver Alert is a similar program for missing cognitively impaired (e.g., Alzheimer’s or other dementias) senior citizens. Article contains brief sidebar on preventing wandering behavior.
