FYI, Iphones and Android cellphones both have a "do not disturb" setting that will prevent whatever type of ringing or normal notification sounds that you want to prevent. But, it will not disable the Government warning systems. So, using the "do not disturb" setting instead of turning off the phone is an alternative way to get the weather warnings.
