FILE - This file frame grab from a cellphone shows an emergency alert along with a news alert on Monday, Sept. 19, 2016, about a man wanted in connection with explosions in the New York City metropolitan area. The federal government is beefing up emergency cellphone alerts like the one used in New York to advertise the search for the bombing suspect. The Federal Communications Commission approved a measure Thursday, Sept. 29, 2016, that will let messages be up to four times longer than the current 90-character limit, and cellphone companies will have to support Spanish messages under the new rules. The changes will also let officials target messages more narrowly and include links in messages. (AP Photo/File)
