My husband thinks he should be able to choose whether or not we receive EAS messages on our cable TV?
Find answers to your legal question.

My husband is watching Comcast On Demand and there are several tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings we are getting every 10 minutes or so. He thinks he should be able to choose whether or not he wants to see the Emergency Alert System warnings. I'm trying to explain to him that it's for our own safety, but he keeps complaining about it. "I didn't ask for EAS on demand!" is what he keeps saying.

And of course, if he could turn off the alerts, he'd refuse to accept any taxpayer funded help from the police, fire department, national guard etc when he was caught unawares by a tornado that the EAS was trying to warn him off, right?

You kind of have control. You can buy/rent the DVD and watch that. No EAS messages with those.
