The FCC sucks at user interface design. Because WEA is viewed as a
"compliance" item, the mobile handset designers (Apple, Android) won't
make any effort at improving the user experience.
My previous comments submitted to the FCC.

Re: Improving Alert Names and Behavior of Wireless Emergency Alerts (PS Docket Nos. 15-91
and 15-94). February 2019
1. Rename eWEA alert classes:
a. National Emergency Alert instead of Presidential Alert
b. Missing / Wanted Person Alert instead of Child Abduction Emergency /
AMBER
2. Imminent Threat class split into a) Emergency Alert or b) Weather Alert
sub-classes.
3. Change the alarm behavior for certain existing alert categories to
match the new Public Safety class notification behavior.
