Florida's ______________________________ was made effective by an Executive Order signed by Charlie Crist on October 8, 2008.

• A. Amber Alert Plan
• B. Blue Alert Plan
• C. Silver Alert Plan
• D. Gold Alert Plan

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is understanding Florida’s alert systems for missing persons and which program was established by Governor Charlie Crist in 2008. The Silver Alert Plan is Florida’s system for rapidly locating missing elderly or disabled individuals who have cognitive impairments, using statewide coordination to broadcast information to the public and law enforcement, through media and roadway signs. It was made effective by an Executive Order signed by Governor Crist on October 8, 2008, giving it official authority and directing agencies to implement the coordinated search and alert process. This choice is distinct from Amber Alert, which targets missing children, and from other alerts that cover different situations.
