"23193932"^^ . . . "A Silver Alert is a public notification system in the United States to broadcast information about missing persons \u2013 especially senior citizens with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other mental disabilities \u2013 in order to aid in locating them. Silver Alerts use a wide array of media outlets \u2013 such as commercial radio stations, television stations, and cable television \u2013 to broadcast information about missing persons. In some states (specifically Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, North Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin), Silver Alerts also use variable-message signs on roadways to alert motorists to be on the lookout for missing seniors. In cases in which a missing person is believed to be missing on foot, Silver Alerts have used Reverse 911 or other emergency notification systems to notify nearby residents of the neighborhood surrounding the missing person's last known location. Silver alerts can also be used for children who are missing without being in danger or abducted. Supporters of Silver Alert point to the United States growing elderly population as a reason to support new programs to locate missing seniors. Approximately six in ten dementia victims will wander off at least once. If not found within 24 hours, up to half of wandering seniors with dementia suffer serious injury or death."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
