This is where I'm a huge fan of RSS/Atom. Subscribe to whatever info you want without any intermediaries deciding you don't need the content. "These aren't the tsunami warnings you're looking for. Move along."
There are plenty of services that will push feed updates to your PDA just like an email, so the differences are moot.
(Granted, it is a pull rather than a push, but a 10-minute polling rate on an emergency info feed is reasonable enough. It probably takes that long for their mail server to deliver 5000 emails anyway.)
