I’d imagine it wouldn’t just be a normal notification. It would probably be like AMBER alerts if you’re in North America. A max volume alarm, even if the volume is turned down. Maybe some extreme scenario it wouldn’t be noticed, but what’s important is that most of the time, it will be.

I don't respond to those immediately all the time. It's usually someone missing hundreds of miles away

Earthquake warnings have a specific sound so you wouldn’t need to look at the alert to take action.
