I really don't know what's happening in Israel regarding deaf people
getting warnings.  If I were there, I would simply go to a shelter every
night, just in case.  At one time in the USA there was a device marketed
that, via radio signals, would switch on a signal light.  I haven't seen
it around for some time.

As to toronado warnings:  we don't have them very often in Washington,
DC--although the hot air from Capitol Hill causes some interesting
temperatures sometimes!

We use common sense:  if the sky looks threatening, we find out what's
happening.  When we lived in Minnesota, the television would display a
crawl warning across the bottom of the screen.
