Florida DOEA Silver Alert Notification

About Silver Alert

To help authorities quickly find missing elders who have dementia or other cognitive impairment, Governor Rick Scott signed into law Florida’s “Silver Alert” in 2011. You can become part of this initiative by subscribing to receive Silver Alert notifications, which will be sent out automatically whenever a Silver Alert is issued. Silver Alert allows important information to be quickly distributed to citizens, so they can assist local law enforcement in rescuing affected elders and returning them home safely. Established in 2008, the alerts allow information to be promptly distributed to the public when a person with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia is missing and in possible danger. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, the Florida Department of Transportation, the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles and Highway Safety's Highway Patrol, the state’s aging services network, local law enforcement agencies and the media have collaborated on a standardized and coordinated response to implement the system.
