Hello Ben. Pennsylvania has no time restrictions on WEA messages, but like many other states we only issue an AMBER Alert several times a year. If the circumstances warrant, we issue regional alerts instead of statewide alerts. We have also found that no matter when we issue an alert, numerous people call in complaints for a variety of reasons.
