Take a look at the following:
About emergency and government alerts on iPhone and Apple Watch - Apple Support
Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) - FCC
Frequently Asked Questions: Wireless Emergency Alerts - FEMA
10) Will I receive a WEA message if I'm visiting an area where I don't live, or outside the area where my phone is registered?
Yes, if you have a WEA-capable phone and your wireless carrier participates in the program. (More than 100 carriers, including all of the largest carriers, do.)
