Lately, the areas that I have been in have issued alerts through the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The various alerts have been for Flood Warnings and Amber Alerts. When an alert comes to my phone it comes as a popup window with the alert that says what the emergency is, and a series of vibrations and/or sound.
I checked the notification screen in the Fitbit app for Emergency Alerts and don't see it. Is there any way to get Emergency Alerts to come through to the Fitbit Versa? Or is this a suggestion for a future OS update?

@dhlunar Welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here! Thank you for your suggestion. The Emergency Alert System uses the different way of communications (radio, TV, phone) to broadcast emergency alerts to the population. Your Versa doesn't have a radio or phone signal capabilities so it may be difficult to have this on it. Still there may be some way to get the notifications from your phone to your device (I can't really say as I lack the technical expertise to give an informed opinion). I suggest you share your idea in our Feature Suggestions board. The more popular you idea becomes the more likely the developers will try to implement it.
Let me know how it goes!
