It is a good idea to receive notification both at home and on your cell phone. Any process that will result in quicker notification regardless of where you are is a good idea. However, not all cities, counties, and parishes have the funding to allow for automated telephone notification by cell phone. In addition, people at your home who need to evacuate would not get the call and would rely on cell phone contact being able to get through to them with the information.
