Who I have the same questioned this topic

Why don't I receive emergency alerts?

once again I am reminded that Verizon's support for emergency alerts has issues. My wife and I were sitting at our dining table eating dinner when her (ATT) device (we both have iphone 6s phones) receIved an Emergency Alert regarding flash flooding in our area. We live on a creek, so this is material. My verizon device never received this alert. This is the typical behavior - she gets them and I don't.

Both phones are are running up to date software (10.2 - 14C92 in my case). Neither use wifi calling. Both are always on. Both have al turned on.

I understand that this feature is related to the tower to which I'm connected. Mindful that our phones are literally 5' apart, perhaps Verizon needs to reconfigure its local towers? I should certainly have received tonight's flood advIvory....
