Oh, that is a very good thing to know. I got the alert, but for part of the year I'm at a place where Wi-Fi calling is the only option. That area is highly prone earthquakes, floods and wildfires, so it's kind of significant. Seems like there should be some kind of workaround, no? (The workaround is to mandate that cellular providers build out infrastructure in rural areas, but, well...)

 @ad39b1fd Unfortunately, there's no standard way to push emergency alerts over VoIP, display them on devices, or even disseminate the messages to the providers in the first place. Cellular providers, devices, and protocols, on the other hand, are much more heterogeneous (and more centrally regulated).
