I love how people here ignore that most government notifications about emergencies is over AM radio.
Who needs to be notified about sudden storms/tornados/accidents/AMBER Alerts while they drive the US? /s
Most people get their emergency notifications on their mobile phone.
Don't have a mobile phone in the year 2020+??
Then you're doing it wrong.
Phones are great for emergency notifications but I think AM would be better for long-term sustained emergencies. It's a highly highly unlikely event though.
