An apparatus (20) such as a television signal receiver, radio or other device provides an emergency alert function that facilitates user selection of geographical locations to ensure proper notification of emergency events. According to an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus (20) includes a memory (27) operative to store data that enables a setup process of the emergency alert function. A processor (27) is operatively coupled to the memory (27). The processor (27) is operative to use the data to enable display of a first list including a plurality of locations. The processor (27) receives a first user input selecting a first one of the locations. The processor (27) identifies at least one transmitter (10) serving the first location and enables display of a second list responsive to the first user input. The second list includes at least one of the locations served by the at least one transmitter (10) other than the first location, and does not include the locations not served by the at least one transmitter (10).
