So the use cases like "get down from a ladder" aren't really likely to be achieved in real life? When I'm working on a ladder, I'm not going to be checking phone notifications anyway.


Does the phone make a different kind of noise, so you'd potentially associate that with "get off the ladder quick"!?


Yes. The 2 types of earthquake alerts each have a unique sound that was designed specifically for earthquake alerts. They are available in the supplemental data folder that's associated with the paper (you can also hear one of these by going into the android earthquake settings and clicking on the Demo feature).


Hmm, Earthquake alerts aren't available: Location switch is off.

But I like it that way.
