It's an upper case A, Amber.

I meant no disrespect to victims of awful crimes, but pointing out the capitalization seems awfully pedantic.

Read the linked wikipedia article please. It is a proper name from back in the day, not the color amber. The alert is named after a little girl called Amber. I wasn't being pedantic. I was pointing out the circumstances in which it came to be and what it's used for.
