    Aside from the Watch Duty app, which I think everyone knows about now, are you signed up with

    https://emergency.lacity.gov/notifyla

    I get text messages for alerts.

    Although none of it helps of your phone is on do not disturb mode, except for the emergency alert system.

      I am. And I get LAFD pings all the time, mostly about hiker/biker rescues above Mandeville Canyon, as if I could do anything about that. I did get alerts about the Palisades Fire, and we did evacuate as soon as they texted we were in the yellow zone. But with the direction of Santa Anas, a fire in the Pass has a much greater chance of getting to us, and I wonder if it’s a zone-boundary thing. I never use Sleep Mode anyway so a ping is enough.
