Is there a civil defense radio station that broadcasts silence in normal circumstances, and broadcasts a warning in emergency? Isn't there such a thing for tornado watch in some regions?

Heard Rep. Shays on the radio today. Said not if, but when, and what and how bad. Said civilians should not prepare but pressure our representatives to prepare for us. Said smallpox vaccinations for everyone would take 5 years. Said preparedness had several parts - intelligence and prevention failed at WTC but response was excellent - medical supplies there within 8 hours. (And they were perfectly adequate because there were dozens of the gravely wounded not thousands). I guess he's a good sample of the government in action.

The National Weather Service has radio stations located all across the country. They are the most reliable source of warning information for disasters both natural and man-made.
