The San Francisco County Sheriff's Office issued a Silver Alert for 82-year-old Yuchan Yu, last seen around midnight Thursday, Nov. 12, near 42nd Avenue and Kirkham Street.

Yu is believed to be on foot. The California Highway Patrol asked the public to help locate her, Bay City News reported in an account published by SFGATE, and anyone who finds her is asked to call 911.

Yu is 4 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 91 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a brown hat, a black jacket, black pants, and black-and-gray shoes.

A Silver Alert, as the California Highway Patrol describes it, is activated when an elderly, developmentally, or cognitively impaired person has gone missing and is determined to be at risk. The request for Yu is direct: if you see her, call 911.
