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.)
