I have a signal booster in my car for that sort of situation. It can't turn nothing into something, but it extends my range a little bit. It sounds like you should be OK. Cell towers sometimes go down in really bad weather (loss of power, I'm guessing). So maybe you want to plan for that.

I've never had an emergency at work -- except the medical kind, and thankfully it wasn't me. We get bad storms sometimes, but that's often predictable. My biggest threat is car-related problems during the commute, followed by storms/tornadoes, medical emergencies, and violent crimes (robbers, mass shooters).
