There's a fundamental user-experience failure in the design of the mobile phone emergency alerts.
As recipient you are so frantic to stop the harsh klaxon sound that you don't get to read the alert text before it's gone.

Likely few users know where to find the emergency-message history list.

My device just made the loud emergency message noise inches from my face, and I hit OK to make the noise stop before even reading the words.

I wonder what it was about.

Here are all the alert types for the coming national alert test. Today across the country, but tomorrow in Ontario.

Hmm, which one would they use to warn us about the United States gov doing something more stupid than usual and threatening our safety (more than usual)? #WrongAnswersOnly

I'm guessing "Industrial Fire" as that's closest to a dumpster fire.
