The United States has something called the Emergency Alert System.
The TL;DR is that all radio and television broadcasting stations are required to have equipment that can listen for those Emergency Alert sounds. Those sounds are actually digital data that carries information about what alert is going out and what counties the alert is for. If the equipment hears an alert for the county it is in or the county that it serves, it will automatically hijack the radio or television broadcast and relay the emergency message.
Us citizens can buy consumer versions of this equipment as well, they are advertised as S.A.M.E Weather Radios (Specific Area Message Encoding).
Here is a very popular one for $30
Here's a video showing it in action
Because of how large the United States is, it is recommended for US citizens to own one of these, so that they can automatically receive any emergency messages for their specific area.
