Feather Alerts: Rapid Response for Missing Indigenous People

The Feather Alert is an emergency notification system activated by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to help locate missing Indigenous people in California. Indigenous communities face disproportionately high rates of violence and disappearance, making timely alerts critical.

At MMIPSD, we share this information to raise awareness, support rapid response, and help communities act quickly.

Our Role Includes:
  • Educating the public about the Feather Alert and how it works.
  • Amplifying alerts to help bring loved ones home safely.
  • Providing resources and advocacy for families and communities impacted by missing and murdered Indigenous people.
How You Can Help:
  • Read the Feather Alert carefully and stay alert.
  • Share the alert with your networks, especially in the affected area.
  • Call 911 immediately (or the number listed in the alert) if you have any information.

What is a Feather Alert?

A Feather Alert is a type of missing person alert issued by the CHP when an Indigenous person has gone missing and meets certain criteria. Similar to Amber Alerts and Silver Alerts, Feather Alerts are designed to quickly inform the public and enlist community help in locating someone who may be in danger.

When is it Activated?

A Feather Alert is issued when an Indigenous person is reported missing and there is concern for their safety. Before an alert is activated, law enforcement or Tribal Council works with local and tribal authorities to investigate the disappearance and confirm that the person is indeed missing. Feather Alerts are used in situations where the person may be in danger—including risks to physical safety, potential trafficking, or other urgent circumstances—and when there is information that could help the public assist in their safe recovery.
