I just have a Weather Alert Radio. That works for me. Some of the best , new ones, have SAME function that will only alert you for your area. It is true that if you use the SAME function you will need to know that area you are in and that could be difficult, I suppose, if you are traveling. So, I would just use my normal one that picks up alerts from the local National Weather Service radio station.
To each there own. I have a hard enough time just trying to figure out how to keep my smart phone working without ever trying to get it to do other things. Takes me 3 minutes to make a call just trying to get past all the stupid adds of junk it is trying to sell me. Be worthless in a emergency.
