Not an app, but here in Germany we have a public warning system that broadcasts an alert to all phones in an area in case of catastrophic events. Happened twice in my city since I moved here two years ago. Once for a mass shooting, and once for an accident at a chemical plant.

I know about cell broadcast, it's common in many countries. But where the fuck do you live that you get so many alerts?
