In my view, in time of an emergency use as many forms of communication as you possibly can to raise an alert. I presume these alarms may also be speakers that can have a means to explain what to do &/or explain what the emergency is… fire, chemical spill, flooding emergency etc ? The monthly tests are a great way to show community, there is a process that ensures things are checked off and routinely monitored, give a little confidence also that things are being attended to. I think the alarms reaching a grand total of 75% of people is better than 0%. Mobile phone networks do gone down, particularly in emergency situations, when everyone is on their phone simultaneously, it has happened many times before. Always good to have a plan ‘B’, you may regret getting rid of, what in my view, is a very good idea. If anything, I’d improve the speakers and make sure clear directions may be transmitted to the 75% of people in an emergency. Just saying

I think they should keep them all, it is q tradition already. And use the phone alerts, too!
