I'm having a hard time thinking of what app I could *possibly* be using on a
phone where I wouldn't want an interruption for a tornado or active shooter

This was discussed in detail a while ago - I'm pretty sure the general

cellphone tower and register for alerts and then DTRT to notify the relevant
carbon-based life forms.
