Emails from the FBI

Not trolling, genuine question. Is it normal in the States for government departments to send out emails and messages to the general population? Here in the UK I have never had an unsolicited email from any government department so if I was to receive one, I'd be really suspicious of it. I imagined that the States would be the same but since reading about the Hawaii missile incident I'm curious to know if government departments in the States, such as the FBI, do send out routine unsolicited emails etc to people.
