A method ( 200 ) and an apparatus ( 106 ) for a wireless communication device for receiving an emergency broadcast message are provided. The wireless communication device ( 106 ) monitors ( 204 ) incoming broadcast messages, and determines ( 206 ) whether the incoming broadcast messages include the emergency broadcast message. If the emergency broadcast message is included, then the wireless communication device ( 106 ) overrides ( 208 ) a settable broadcast service reception preference, and receives ( 210 ) the emergency broadcast message. The wireless communication device ( 106 ) then transmits ( 212 ) an acknowledgment of receiving the emergency broadcast message, and communicates ( 214 ) the reception of the emergency broadcast message.
