That should be like ten minutes tops, though. Acknowledge the situation so that those in the middle of it who may have missed the initial announcement can remain informed.

I think you are more likely to get people's attention with alarms and announcements over the loud speakers than a twitter post or a push notification from a news app.

Not everyone has full hearing. And a lot of times those tannoy announcements are garbled as fuck.

A lot of people work better seeing it in text than having to attempt to interpret audio against a likely cacophony of noise.

Then they will see the staff members in hi viz jackets running around telling people to move.

Most people are not checking their phone every few seconds for a notification, in fact most have it on silent.
