WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSET) -- President Trump has sign a new bill into law to keep your family members safe.
The president signed the Ashanti Alert Act, which is legislation that creates a new federal alert system for missing or endangered adults between the ages of 18 and 64.
The law is named after Ashanti Bille, the 19-year-old was abducted in Norfolk in 2017.
Her body was discovered in North Carolina 11 days after she was reported missing.
When Ashanti was abducted, she was too old for an Amber Alert and too young for a Silver Alert.
The Ashanti Alert, like the other alert systems, would notify the public about missing or endangered adults through a national communications network to assist law enforcement in the search.

LARAMIE, WY - UPDATE THURSDAY 6:30 AM:
Authorities say four snowmobilers from South Dakota who were missing in Wyoming have been rescued.
According to the Carbon County Sheriff's Office, Jeremiah Christensen, Zachary Christensen, Jim Bruining and a 16-year-old are all safe.
The four were reported lost or overdue on Sunday around 6 p.m. after they did not check out of their hotel.
The Carbon County Sheriff's Office tells KSFY News the group got lost in whiteout conditions and rough terrain last week.
After three days of recovery efforts, crews were able to rescue the four by using snow shoes after spotting them from a helicopter.
They survived by rationing food, having a fire, melting snow for water and building a shelter from snow, log poles and pine boughs, the sheriff's office said.
They are now on their way back to South Dakota uninjured.

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) – Searchers are looking for four snowmobile riders from South Dakota missing in Wyoming’s Snowy Range Mountains.
The search for Zach, Cole and Miah Christensen and Jim Bruining resumed Tuesday in the mountains west of Laramie. Albany County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jeff Beeston says they were last seen Saturday afternoon.
Beeston says overcast skies and intermittent snow is limiting the searchers’ visibility but the teams still hope to be able to use aircraft to help them look for the snowmobilers.
The sheriff’s department was notified that they were missing Sunday evening after they failed to check out of their lodge in Albany as planned.
Snowmobile teams also looked for the men Monday. The sheriff’s department says the search area is very large because it’s not known exactly where the men planned to go.

Our condolences to the loved-ones of Army Cpl. DeMaret M. Kirtley, then 19, of Kaycee, WY. Cpl. Kirtley died near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. Korean War. 1950.
Thank you for your service, Sir.
11/27/18
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - The remains of an Army soldier missing in action from the Korean War have been identified as a Wyoming man.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency reports it is Army Cpl. DeMaret M. Kirtley of Kaycee. Kirtley was 19 years old when he died near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea.
In late November 1950, Kirtley and about 2,500 U.S. and 700 South Korean soldiers assembled into the 31st Regimental Combat Team, which was deployed east of the Chosin Reservoir, North Korea, when it was attacked by overwhelming numbers of Chinese forces.
As the Chinese attacks continued, American forces withdrew south. The U.S. Army evacuated approximately 1,500 service members; the remaining soldiers had been either captured, killed or missing in enemy territory.
Kirtley was reported missing in action on Dec. 6, 1950, when he could not be accounted for after the withdrawal. He was last seen in the vicinity of Hagaru-ri, Changjin County, Hamgyeong Province, North Korea.
The Army declared Kirtley dead three years later because his name wasn’t on any POW list and none of the returning POWs knew of him.
In 1954 the remains of 2,944 military men were returned to the U.S. under Operation Glory. Most were identified but 416 couldn’t be matched to missing soldiers.
Last year, a set of those remains – marked X-15900 Operation Glory - was disinterred and sent to the DPAA lab. The lab used mitochondrial DNA analysis, dental and anthropological analysis to positively identify the remains as those of Kirtley.
According to DPAA, 7,675 Americans remain unaccounted for from the Korean War.

#StillMissing Terry Meador went missing following a solo hunting trip south of Rock Springs, WY. 10/25/18.
11/5/18
A 74-year-old Rock Springs man who was reported missing Oct. 25 had still not been found by Sunday, authorities said.
Terry Meador went missing following a solo hunting trip south of Rock Springs. Authorities found his 2013 Chevrolet pickup badly stuck 2.75 miles north of the Pine Mountain summit.
In the three days following the report of his disappearance, planes, helicopters, law enforcement, search and rescue teams and family and friends searched the area. In the next two days, search parties were unable to find any trace of him, according to the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office.
On Saturday, more than 150 people volunteered to help search for Meador in the Pine Mountain area in advance of bad weather.
“Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful,” said Sheriff Mike Lowell in a news release. “We were unable to locate Mr. Meador or any additional clues to his route or whereabouts after he left his vehicle.”
Search parties have covered more than 60 square miles in the area thus far.
The sheriff said citizens searching on their own should be careful given the season's worsening weather.
“If you do choose to search on your own, make it a careful, well-thought-out decision and plan accordingly,” Lowell said. “Be properly equipped and, equally important, let someone know where you will be and when you plan to return.”

Sweetwater County Sheriff Mike Lowell said Monday afternoon the search for a missing Rock Springs hunter is continuing.
74-year-old Terry Meador was reported missing to the Rock Springs Police Department on October 25.
investigators think he went hunting alone, and his unoccupied pickup was found badly stuck north of Pine Mountain south of Rock Springs. Ground and air searches Friday, Saturday and Sunday, carried out by county deputies, Sweetwater County Search and Rescue and family members were unsuccessful.
Lowell said search efforts are continuing through the week, and another large-scale search is planned for this weekend, weather permitting.
The sheriff said his department will be asking for volunteers for the search, and asked people who may be interested in helping to watch for media reports asking for help. He said people can also keep an eye on his department's website for information on volunteering.
In the meantime, the sheriff asked hunters in the Pine Mountain area to keep an eye out for Meador or any clues as to his whereabouts.

10/6/18
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (CBS4) — The body of Union Pacific engineer Jason Martinez was recovered Friday night at the scene of a train collision that killed another man and injured two other crew members.
Martinez, an employee of the railroad for 12 years, had been missing since the Thursday evening incident.
Conductor Benjamin Brozovich, a 20-year Union Pacific veteran, also died in the wreck. His body was discovered Thursday night.
The two injured crew members were treated and released at a Cheyenne hospital.
An eastbound freight train rear-ended another freight train Thursday night 18 miles west of Cheyenne, according to the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office. The second train was parked.

A Union Pacific worker died Thursday evening in a train crash west of Cheyenne. A second worker remained missing Friday.
The crash happened at 7:45 p.m. when an eastbound train hit a second, stopped train 18 miles west of Wyoming's capital city, according to the Cheyenne Mayor's Office.
Union Pacific spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza said Friday that local emergency response agencies and Union Pacific workers were still looking for the missing person. She declined to offer details about the missing person.
"It is a very sad day for Union Pacific," she said.
The spokeswoman said the wreck occurred when a moving train hit the rear of a stopped train, both of which were eastbound. Espinoza said an investigation would determine why the train had stopped, among other things.
An estimated 56 rail cars were derailed in the crash.
The crew in the stopped locomotive, which was pulling mixed freight from Pocatello, Idaho, had gotten out of the train prior to the crash, Espinoza said. Despite earlier reports, there were no additional injuries in the collision, she added.
The moving train was carrying mixed freight from Green River to Cheyenne, she said.
"This was a significant and tragic event," Cheyenne Mayor Marian Orr said in a statement. "We are a community of railroaders and tonight our community has experienced loss. And if you pray, please pray."
There were no obvious hazards or threats to the public, according to the mayor's office.

Expect phones across the country to be simultaneously alerted just before 1:20 p.m. on Wednesday, when federal officials conduct the first-ever test of the country’s emergency communications system with a presidential alert.
The alert will be a joint test of the Wireless Emergency Alert system and the Emergency Alert System, and commence at 1:18 p.m., according to a news release from state officials.
The countrywide test, a joint effort of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Communications Commission, will use the same tone and vibration as tornado warning and AMBER Alert warnings.
“Users cannot opt out of receiving the (Wireless Emergency Alert) test,” notes FEMA.
The test originally had been scheduled for Sept. 20, but was postponed to Wednesday, its backup date, because of Hurrican Florence.
According to FEMA, the Wireless Emergency Alert test message will have a header that reads “Presidential Alert” and text reading: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
While the system was set up following an executive order signed in 2006 by President George W. Bush, the announcement last month that the test would be sent sparked some controversy, triggering the specter for some of President Donald Trump using the alerts the way he does Twitter. But that idea was dismissed by federal officials, who say the system has safeguards in place and is intended to notify Americans in hazardous situations including terrorism, war, or natural disasters.
“The test is intended to ensure public safety officials have the methods and systems to deliver urgent warnings and alerts to the public in times of an emergency or disaster,” said Acting Illinois Emergency Management Agency Director William Robertson. “Periodic testing is a way to access the operational readiness of the infrastructure and determine whether technological improvements are needed.”
While the Emergency Alert System has been tested before, the Wednesday test will be the first time the nationwide Wireless Emergency Alert system will be tested. This system is used to notify the public about “dangerous weather, missing children, and other regionally critical situations through alerts on cellular phones,” the release said. It would also allow most users to receive location-targeted notifications of “imminent threats to safety in their area,” officials furthered.
Cell phones that are turned on and within the range of an active cell tower are expected to receive the message. Some older phones, officials said, may not get the message.

In a news release, the Fremont County Sheriff's Office says Pereda was last seen in Riverton at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 5. His last known destination was the Sandraw landfill south of Riverton -- he never arrived.
Pereda was operating a white 2002 single-cab Toyota Tundra, possibly with a load of garbage in the bed. The license plate number for that vehicle is 10-18870.
Anyone with information on Pereda's whereabouts is asked to contact the Wind River Police Department at 307-332-3112 or the Fremont County Sheriff's Office at 307-332-5611.
