[General] Emergency alerts not working since Kitkat 4.4.2

My Galaxy S4 is no longer displaying emergency alerts since 4.4.2 update. We had two tornado warnings in our area (Charlotte, NC) yesterday and while my weather app alerted me (albeit several minutes after the warnings were issued) the Emergency Alerts app did not alert me. Checked settings and alerts are enabled. I see several other Verizon users have posted the same issue online. This seems like a huge repetitional risk for Verizon - people rely on these alerts and if they system fails, lives are put at risk.
