They sell weather radios at many Kroger stores and Radio Shack stores, that allow you to program just the counties near you into them, so when tornado warnings are issued, the radio will go off only if they're issued in those counties and not just anywhere. Very handy to have.

In addition, Cobb County has a good system of warning sirens (http://ema.cobbcountyga.gov/downloads/sirens-location.pdf - broken link) all around the county, and the City of Smyrna has its own siren network.

I'm sure other counties and cities have similar systems.
