Set the alarm for 10:11 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 10:11 p.m.

You are preparing at 10:11 pm to evacuate your family to the school gym before an alert makes the move urgent. Keep identification, water, medicines, phone chargers, and a light bag together, then set the alarm for the moment everyone should be ready. That leaves your household organised well before 11:00 pm, without turning the wait into a last-minute rush.

Your family’s evacuation plan should guide the sound you choose. A softer tone can work while everyone is still awake, checking bags and listening for barangay announcements. A persistent tone is more suitable if someone may doze off or if electric fans and conversation could cover the first chime. Test the volume from the room where you will wait. The evacuation alarm will not sound if this browser page is closed or the phone goes to sleep, so keep the page open, the phone awake, and a separate phone alarm as backup.

As departure approaches, the school gym route may grow quieter indoors while tricycles, motorcycles, rain, neighbours, or public-address messages remain audible outside. Place the phone on a hard surface near the packed bags, where its tone can carry above that changing evening noise. Avoid burying it under clothes, and ask one awake adult to watch both the time and official local updates.
