Different governments’ mass notification systems may include different types of alerts. Some only notify you in extreme situations, such as disaster evacuations, while others may also send alerts for missing persons or police activity. Note what kind of alerts your local system offers before signing up, and keep in mind you can often choose what type of alerts you’d like to receive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11999982,news_11971374,news_11834901\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Users will typically be asked to provide their mobile number, email, and street address. Many emergency alert systems have the option to register multiple street addresses, allowing you to keep tabs on other significant locations like your workplace or kids’ schools. Some also allow you to customize whether you’d like to receive alerts via phone call, text message, or email and offer language and accessibility options. If customization options are not offered during initial enrollment, you may be able to log in after enrolling to change your settings and add additional information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency alert systems are often run through third parties. Common ones include OnSolve CodeRED, Everbridge, Rave Mobile Safety’s Smart 911, and Genasys. If your local government uses a third-party system, you will generally be directed to that company’s website to enroll. Once you receive an emergency alert (or a signup confirmation), we recommend that you save the number to your Contacts and \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/26/20883331/iphone-do-not-disturb-mode-exceptions-how-to\">exclude it from being blocked\u003c/a> when using your cell phone’s Do Not Disturb features.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you’ve signed up for alerts previously, it’s worth checking to make sure you’re still registered with your county.

This may occasionally lead to the tool providing outdated information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Signing up for emergency alerts is a crucial first step in preparing for a natural disaster, but it’s not the last. Alerts delivered via phone or email rely on some combination of phone service, internet, and power, all of which could go down during a natural disaster. Government agencies, however, have also used non-electronic emergency alerts for a long time, including door-to-door knocking or vehicle-mounted speakers. But you may find yourself in a position where you need to evacuate an area before an official order has even been issued. So don’t forget to develop a comprehensive \u003ca href=\"https://www.ready.gov/plan\">disaster plan\u003c/a> and review it with your household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Alerts delivered via phone or email rely on some combination of phone service, internet, and power, all of which could go down during a natural disaster. Government agencies, however, have also used non-electronic emergency alerts for a long time, including door-to-door knocking or vehicle-mounted speakers. But you may find yourself in a position where you need to evacuate an area before an official order has even been issued. So don’t forget to develop a comprehensive \u003ca href=\"https://www.ready.gov/plan\">disaster plan\u003c/a> and review it with your household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Spokesperson Laura Chalkley said the district’s board of trustees “has expressed an interest in exploring expanding the Yondr program, but there has been no formal discussion” yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the East Bay, Mt.

Diablo and Ygnacio Valley high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tamalpais Union High School District is also considering the pouches. At a board meeting last week, district officials presented on Yondr after piloting an “expanded cellphone policy which requires all teachers to collect cellphones at the start of every class period” during the spring semester last year, according to its agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for San Francisco Unified said Tuesday that though campuses require phones to be off and put away during class and passing periods, “students may have mobile communication devices on campus as long as the device is utilized in accordance with law, board policy and any rules that individual schools may impose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Could a statewide ban be on the way?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Currently, the state does not have any binding phone restrictions that affect campuses, but in June, Newsom said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/06/18/governor-newsom-supports-efforts-to-get-smartphones-out-of-schools/\">statement\u003c/a> that he “looks forward to working with the Legislature to restrict the use of smartphones during the school day,” building on a bill he signed in 2019 that permitted districts to regulate phone use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=news_11999471 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS8759_ucberkeley20140213-1180x786.jpg']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That month, the California Senate Education Committee unanimously approved \u003ca href=\"https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB3216/id/2965936\">Assembly Bill 3216\u003c/a>, a bill introduced by Rep.

Pushback also has come from \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/technology-health-business-education-e45811998c1b1e4046ade2dbba46fd1e\">parents who fear being cut off from their kids\u003c/a> if there is a school emergency. Whitman advises schools to make exceptions for students with special educational and medical needs and to inform parents on expert guidance that phones can be a dangerous distraction for students during an emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaden Willoughey, 14, shares the concern about being out of contact with his parents if there’s a crisis. But he also sees the upsides of turning in his phone at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Delta High School in rural Utah, where Jaden is a freshman, students are required to check their phones at the door when entering every class. Each of the school’s 30 or so classrooms has a cellphone storage unit that looks like an over-the-door shoe bag with three dozen smartphone-sized slots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helps you focus on your work, and it’s easier to pay attention in class,” Jaden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A classmate, Mackenzie Stanworth, 14, said it would be hard to ignore her phone if it was within reach. It’s a relief, she said, to “take a break from the screen and the social life on your phone and actually talk to people in person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a few years to tweak the cellphone policy and find a system that worked, said Jared Christensen, the school’s vice principal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At first, it was a battle. But it has been so worth it,” he said. “Students are more attentive and engaged during class time. Teachers are able to teach without competing with cellphones. And student learning has increased,” he said, citing test scores that are at or above state averages for the first time in years. “I can’t definitively say it’s because of this policy. But I know it’s helping.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next battle will be against earbuds and smartwatches, he said. Even with phones stashed in pouches, students get caught listening to music on air pods hidden under their hair or hoodies. “We haven’t included earbuds in our policy yet. But we’re almost there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>AP Reporter Hannah Schoenbaum in Salt Lake City, Utah, contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>If the Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov were alive today, what would he say about smartphones? He might not think of them as phones at all, but instead as remarkable tools for understanding how technology can manipulate our brains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pavlov's own findings — from experiments he did more than a century ago, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/pavlov/readmore.html\">involving food, buzzers and slobbering dogs\u003c/a> — offer key insights into why our phones have become almost an extension of our bodies, modern researchers say. The findings also provide clues to how we can break our dependence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pavlov originally set off to study canine digestion. But one day, he noticed something peculiar while feeding his dogs. If he played a sound — like a metronome or buzzer — before mealtimes, eventually the sound started to have a special meaning for the animals. It meant food was coming! The dogs actually started drooling when they heard the sound, even if no food was around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing the buzzer had become pleasurable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's exactly what's happening with smartphones, says \u003ca href=\"http://virtual-addiction.com/about-us/\">David Greenfield\u003c/a>, a psychologist and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Connecticut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we hear a ding or little ditty alerting us to a new text, email or Facebook post, cells in our brains likely release dopamine — one of the chemical transmitters in the brain's reward circuitry. That dopamine makes us feel pleasure, Greenfield says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That ping is telling us there is some type of reward there, waiting for us,\" Greenfield says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, that ping can become more powerful than the reward itself. Research on animals suggests dopamine levels in the brain can be twice as high when you anticipate the reward as when you actually receive it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, just hearing the notification can be more pleasurable than the text, email or tweet. \"Smartphone notifications have turned us all into Pavlov's dogs,\" Greenfield says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/584389201/585032374\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Signs You Might Need to Cut Back\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The average adult checks their phone 50 to 300 times each day, Greenfield says. And smartphones use psychological tricks that encourage our continued high usage — some of the same tricks slot machines use to hook gamblers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For example, every time you look at your phone, you don't know what you're going to find — how relevant or desirable a message is going to be,\" Greenfield says. \"So you keep checking it over and over again because every once in a while, there's something good there.\" (This is called \u003ca href=\"https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/brain-wise/201311/use-unpredictable-rewards-keep-behavior-going\">a variable ratio schedule\u003c/a> of reinforcement. Animal studies suggest it makes dopamine skyrocket in the brain's reward circuitry and is possibly one reason people keep playing slot machines.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A growing number of doctors and psychologists are concerned about our relationship with the phone. There's a debate about what to call the problem.

The findings also provide clues to how we can break our dependence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pavlov originally set off to study canine digestion. But one day, he noticed something peculiar while feeding his dogs. If he played a sound — like a metronome or buzzer — before mealtimes, eventually the sound started to have a special meaning for the animals. It meant food was coming! The dogs actually started drooling when they heard the sound, even if no food was around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing the buzzer had become pleasurable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's exactly what's happening with smartphones, says \u003ca href=\"http://virtual-addiction.com/about-us/\">David Greenfield\u003c/a>, a psychologist and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Connecticut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>For the first time, a generation of children is going through adolescence with smartphones ever-present. \u003ca href=\"http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu/people/jean-twenge/\">Jean Twenge\u003c/a>, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, has a name for these young people born between 1995 and 2012: \"iGen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says members of this generation are physically safer than those who came before them. They drink less, they learn to drive later and they're holding off on having sex. But psychologically, she argues, they are far more vulnerable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not an exaggeration to describe iGen as being on the brink of the worst mental health crisis in decades,\" she writes in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/has-the-smartphone-destroyed-a-generation/534198/\">story\u003c/a> in \u003cem>The Atlantic, \u003c/em>adapted from her \u003ca href=\"http://www.simonandschuster.com/books/iGen/Jean-M-Twenge/9781501151989\">forthcoming book\u003c/a>. And she says it's largely because of smartphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenge spoke to \u003cem>All Things Considered\u003c/em> about her research and her conclusions. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/542016165/542087124\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does teen behavior now differ from generations past?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today's teens are just not spending as much time with their friends in person, face-to-face, where they can really read each others' emotions and get that social support. And we know from lots and lots of research that spending time with other people in person is one of the best predictors for psychological well-being and one of the best protections against having mental health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is this generation facing that worries you so much?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>iGen is showing mental health issues across a wide variety of indicators. They're more likely than young people just five or 10 years ago to say that they're anxious, that they have symptoms of depression, that they have thought about suicide or have even [attempted] suicide. So across the board, there's a really consistent trend with mental health issues increasing among teens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is it specifically the smartphone, or is it social media? Or is it the number of hours per day spent on these things?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, you look at the pattern of loneliness. It suddenly begins to increase around 2012. And the majority of Americans had a cell phone by the end of 2012, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewinternet.org/2013/06/05/smartphone-ownership-2013/\">Pew Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that using social media for more hours is linked to more loneliness, and that smartphones were used by the majority of Americans around 2012, and that's the same time loneliness increases, that's very suspicious. You can't absolutely prove causation, but by a bunch of different studies, there's this connection between spending a lot of time on social media and feeling lonely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How much of a factor is parenting?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I was somewhat surprised when I interviewed iGen teens how many of them are deeply aware of the negative effects of smartphones. Parenting is playing a role. I think many parents are worried about their teens driving, and going out with their friends and drinking.

They drink less, they learn to drive later and they're holding off on having sex. But psychologically, she argues, they are far more vulnerable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not an exaggeration to describe iGen as being on the brink of the worst mental health crisis in decades,\" she writes in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/has-the-smartphone-destroyed-a-generation/534198/\">story\u003c/a> in \u003cem>The Atlantic, \u003c/em>adapted from her \u003ca href=\"http://www.simonandschuster.com/books/iGen/Jean-M-Twenge/9781501151989\">forthcoming book\u003c/a>. And she says it's largely because of smartphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenge spoke to \u003cem>All Things Considered\u003c/em> about her research and her conclusions.

And we know from lots and lots of research that spending time with other people in person is one of the best predictors for psychological well-being and one of the best protections against having mental health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is this generation facing that worries you so much?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>iGen is showing mental health issues across a wide variety of indicators. They're more likely than young people just five or 10 years ago to say that they're anxious, that they have symptoms of depression, that they have thought about suicide or have even [attempted] suicide. So across the board, there's a really consistent trend with mental health issues increasing among teens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is it specifically the smartphone, or is it social media? Or is it the number of hours per day spent on these things?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, you look at the pattern of loneliness. It suddenly begins to increase around 2012. And the majority of Americans had a cell phone by the end of 2012, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewinternet.org/2013/06/05/smartphone-ownership-2013/\">Pew Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that using social media for more hours is linked to more loneliness, and that smartphones were used by the majority of Americans around 2012, and that's the same time loneliness increases, that's very suspicious. You can't absolutely prove causation, but by a bunch of different studies, there's this connection between spending a lot of time on social media and feeling lonely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How much of a factor is parenting?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I was somewhat surprised when I interviewed iGen teens how many of them are deeply aware of the negative effects of smartphones. Parenting is playing a role. I think many parents are worried about their teens driving, and going out with their friends and drinking. Yet parents are often not worrying about their teen who stays at home but is on their phone all the time. But they should be worried about that. I think parents are worried about the wrong thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can you propose solutions that might help people?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first is just awareness that spending a lot of time on the phone is not harmless and that if you're spending a lot of time on the phone, then it may take away from activities that might be more beneficial for psychological well-being, like spending time with people in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then for parents, I think it is [a] good idea to put off giving your child a smartphone as long as you can. If you feel they need a phone, say, for riding a bus, you can get them a flip phone. They still sell them. And then once your teen has a smartphone, there are apps that allow parents to restrict the number of hours a day that teens are on the smartphone, and also what time of day they use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.
