ORIGIN OF Alerta Ashanti

The words Ashanti Alert, as we have already expressed, are an alert mechanism to find missing persons.

Certainly, alerts have existed for a long time, but this phrase began in 2018 with the disappearance of Ashanti Billie, a native of Maryland who disappeared in September 2017.

This search had many initiatives and teams, so much so that now in Puerto Rico, every time someone goes missing, the alarm serves to create awareness and live safely.
