Amber Alert Notice

Add the Kansas Amber Alert notice to your Web site. The alert is a server side include file that resides on Kansas.gov and is displayed when an Amber Alert is activated by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI).

WARNING: The Web files that you add the notice onto are required to have a .shtml extension to display. The .html file extension will NOT display the content.

 

Adding the code

If your Web site is hosted with Kansas.gov, place the following HTML code onto your Web pages:

<!--#include virtual="/layout/ksamber/alert_ssi.html" -->

When an Amber Alert is issued by the KBI, the following information will be displayed on your Web site where you placed the HTML code.
