I've never heard of any authorities using any emergency broadcast system for actual emergencies. Maui's system being the latest example not to be switched on. New York certainly didn't use theirs during their emergency. So what's the point of having it at all? Why bother people with a test if it's never going to be used?

The two nationwide systems -- the Emergency Alert System, or EAS, and Wireless Emergency Alerts, or WEA -- are “critical tools” that save lives and allow people to protect property when natural disasters, acts of terrorism and other threats to public safety strike, Edwards added.

The tools are so critical yet, no one ever turns them on in a real emergency. Sounds critical to me. Either that or authorities don't want to save lives.
