Cell Broadcast configuration easy to access and turned on by default

I’m using a Fairphone 4 with eOS (Android 12) and expected to receive a notification via CB on German public warning day (8. Dec). But unfortunately − nothing happened.
After a longer search, I find out that the CB was turned off by default.
However the most annoying fact is how to find out the status of CB and how to turn it on.
There is no entry within the settings menu nor an App. Only when you open Settings and then enter the search for “emergency” you will see some entries related to emercency.
For me, this is not an intuitive and easy way to find and change these important settings.
I would suggest to make this available via the “Security and Emerency” submenu. And in Addition, it should not be turned off by default.
