Yes, I've seen it used in my area to broadcast an Amber alert. It's could be used to broadcast a severe storm, i.e. tornado, but I don't live in a place that ever has tornados.......so i wouldn't know if it's been used for that.

yes it's used for lost children. I have heard it never in my own state, but a few times when i have been on road trips in other states.
