I'm in Germany and I don't know anybody who uses such apps. I wonder what their reach is.

You don’t have the NINA app? You have broadcast relatively often (multiple time a year) due to fires, active shooting, flood risk, etc. At least in Hamburg. It’s pretty useful.

It also displays by default in usable English on an iPhone when the phone's interface language is set to US English (haven't tested UK English).

I use KATWARN because the local refinary, usually downwind of where I live, is required to announce if there is an incident (within 48 hours, probably).
