Fast forward to the next tornado and techno-darwinism will take effect.
Alternatively you could have the speaker ramble on for 10-15 minutes about how the weather alerting system works and maybe the end-user will hang around long enough listening to the explanation...
Of course, on Amazon's Alexia, it will probably sound like this Alexia: "There is an immediate evacuation due to wildfires in this area, would you like to order N95 facemasks with free shipping for Amazon Prime members?"
