Do you mean the 98 people (at least) who died due to the Maui Lahaina
wildfires. Seems like the same people who complain about the testing
of public warning systems also complain when they don't get a warning
about something that personally affected them.
Public warning systems are designed to get your attention, wake you
up, interrupt what you are doing.
Nevertheless, I understand some people will remove the batteries from
smoke alarms and turn off public alerts.
