Also worth noting that you won't get emergency alerts on your stove,
refrigerator, dish washer, washing machine or dryer. So, when cooking
or doing laundry make sure you have an alternate source of emergency
alerts available.

Shockingly, your alarm clock won't automatically turn on when there's
an emergency alert over the radio either nor will your smoke and fire
alarms go off except in the immediate presence of smoke and fire, so
be sure to have an always-on source of alerts while you're sleeping
too.

tl;dr: keep your cell phone on and with you 'cause only a few things
get emergency alerts and only when they're turned on.
