this earthquake is how i learned that emergency alerts for natural disasters will bypass a silenced phone (unlike the covid alerts) because every phone at my job went off and i had to ask my students what the siren was for because i didn't have my phone on me

they were really so dumb for this, like even for the foreign members you'd think living in korea for as long as they have they'd know that a siren blaring from everyone's phones means something serious happened 🙄
