What an Endangered Missing Advisory Means
An Endangered Missing Advisory is one of six alert types recognized under California's missing-persons alert system, alongside the AMBER Alert, Blue Alert, Silver Alert, Feather Alert and Ebony Alert, according to the California Highway Patrol. The designation gives law enforcement agencies a tool for publicizing cases involving the suspicious disappearance of at-risk children or other endangered people, with the goal of getting information to the public quickly enough to aid a swift recovery, the agency says.
The advisory had not been updated with any further developments as of this writing. Residents in Tarzana and across Los Angeles County are asked to watch for the missing girl and to call 9-1-1 rather than approach her directly if she is spotted.
