Does your emergency response plan address hearing (an other physically) impaired people who may be at risk? everyone should be included.
At my previous workplace, there were a lot of areas where there was noise so visual alerts were implemented but that is much more difficult for province or nation-wide alerts. I notice that the last Amber alert included vibration and screen on...which brings up the issue of visually impaired people. Perhaps the notice could be read out loud by default with a silent dismissal acknowledgement for the those with visual acuity.

Interestingly it wasn't until I made some offhand remark about it that I got a flashing fire alarm installed in my office. People really don't think about this, though I confess I hadn't thought to ask for one because I've never really had such a thing either (I'd made some comment about evacuating if I saw the students in the open office in my line of vision bailing.)
