What is Gateway Guides role during Child Abduction Alerts (SARAA and AMBER)?
Gateway Guide’s role in Child Abduction Alerts is to get a simple message out on the message boards to prompt motorists to listen to the radio for greater detail about the child in Missouri. The St. Louis area has 100 percent of all radio stations involved in the local AMBER or SARAA program because it is now part of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). MoDOT places a simple message to have people tune to any radio station for information. We also have the ability to place child abduction alerts on our new traffic info hotline anytime they are activated. All the public will have to do is call the toll free number at 1-888 511 4785 and the primary message will come on about the child.
