I was asking if this feature is turned on in iOS for Japan residents for earthquakes in Japan.

Ah, that specific push notification would have been via the FCC's Emergency Alert System (EAS) I believe.

But it sounds like Japan's system also sends push notifications which is why I was unclear about what you felt was different/missing. I think the specific tone sound we get from EAS is distinct.
