U.S. – Google-owned traffic app Waze will reportedly begin to feature AMBER alerts. As reported by WebProNews, Waze has formed a partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Waze is quoted as stating in a blog post of the new feature, “Waze has always been about sharing information for the common good. In this spirit we hope the addition of AMBER alerts to Waze will make a significant contribution to safety and awareness for children and parents across communities everywhere.”
