Pretty sure they're "required" in Germany and cannot be disabled by the user.

You travel to other countries, you abide by their laws. This is no different.

No required. In iOS can be disabled.

The highest level cannot. We just had a nationwide test in Germany a few days ago.

I have 2 phones. In one I disabled it, and did not get the alarm. The other one was enabled and received the alarm. It can be disabled. Period.
