4. Using Do Not Disturb Mode

Both iPhone and Android devices offer a "Do Not Disturb" (DND) mode that can be customized to allow emergency alerts to bypass the silence:

• iPhone: Go to "Settings" > "Focus" > "Do Not Disturb." Under "Allowed Notifications," select "People" and "Apps" to allow specific contacts or apps to notify you even when DND is on.

• Android: Go to "Settings" > "Sound & vibration" > "Do Not Disturb." Under "Exceptions," select "Emergency alerts" to allow them during DND.

This ensures you remain undisturbed while still receiving critical weather alerts. (austinpost.com)
