Amber Alert not working

We had a major Amber Alert warning Tuesday and my new  phone (Samsung S7 Edge) never went off.  Everyone I know got the alert but my phone didn't.  I have verified the emergency setting is set to "ON"  for all alerts, and my phone DID receive recent Flash Flood warning alarms, so I'm confused. My prior phone (Galaxy S Note 3) received an Amber Alert so I know my account should be receiving them. The only change I have made to my phone is a new Samsung theme that I installed, could that be the reason? I noticed it said that some apps may not work with changed theme (they all say that) but surely Emergency services shouldn't be affected by a display theme, right?  My OS is up to date and I don't notice anything else not working.
