    If the disable method doesn’t work, you can try

    adb shell pm uninstall -user 0 -k com.android.cellbroadcastservice

    Edit: AND

    adb shell pm disable com.google.android.cellbroadcastreceiver (This is the Wireless Emergency alert app specifically)

    (I’ve also disabled and/or uninstalled and/or firewalled and/or removed ‘modify system settings’ permissions many of my carrier apps)

      Just live in a country which refuses to acknowledge cell broadcast exists, then you’ll die in peaceful silence in the next national emergency while operators take several hours to to send 11 million unicast SMS.
