The notification center on my iPhone 4S is missing government alerts and I want to turn off Amber Alerts because I use the siren for home security at night.  I scroll to the bottom of &quot;notification center&quot; and I do not have government alerts or amber alerts.  Both my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 6 have &quot;notifications,&quot; with a red  icon,  instead of &quot;notification center,&quot; with a gray icon.<br />
<br />
Question is where in the settings do I find amber alerts/government alerts, emergency alerts?...<br />
