Everyone has a phone these days, and every phones has emergency alerts enabled by default. You'll get notices in any actual "hits the fan" situations.

Not worried really. Interested coincidence for me to be on the ocean as the same time they're sending rockets there. Though pretty far away from it.
Not I. All that garbage is disabled. Too many late night wakeups and false alarms during meetings and other inconvenient times. Boy who cried "wolf" syndrome.
Most people around you still has a phone, or office/hotel/mall/transportation has a separate system, so you'll still get it anyhow.
