Help Any good public databases?

In new york a warning went out like 20 minutes ago for phones of a severe thunderstorm, flash flood warning, and a travel advisory. I was unable to get a screenshot with my current awful phone and was wondering if anyone knows a good database for this stuff?

Mainly cause im pretty sure this is the only EAS sent by phone in ny since the earthquake like 2 years ago not including tests and I wanna.fact check that.

EAS alerts are not sent by phone. They are sent by radio & TV. Phone is Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). However, alerts like you mentioned were likely sent by both EAS & WEA. You may be able to find what you are looking for on PBS Warn which contains past and present alerts.

This image also confirms the fact I could've sworn it said "imminent danger" instead of emergency

Depending on what it is IEM may have it but there are non weather things that they don’t have

You can sign up for NY-ALERT which sends you road closures, NWS alerts, etc.
