I last hear an alert from it? Does your smoke alarm have batteries? Are they dead? When did you last test it? Google solved these problems with ~$120 smoke alarm and a decent cell phone app. If they released a new version with weather alerts, I wouldn't think twice about dropping $200 on it.

Just as a small point of contention, if you lose the bread basket and the agricultural industries, you might as well have never received an emergency alert in a city where the supplies and fresh food will run out and people will be fighting and killing each other for a Snickers bar. No good
