    For those curious on how the Japanese alert systems work: for phones, it’s the same as it is now for everyone else with iPhones. Every phone has its own alert tone, but the one shown was old. For TV, the initial ring is to get your attention, they announce it and bring it to a camera, when you hear a small chime, that means it’s hit the area since the alert is earlier than the actually quake hitting the surface. The tsunami beeping turns the radio and other devices on incase of power outages.
    It’s not cute, it’s terrifying.

That combined with the message seemingly being in Spanish (California has a large Spanish-speaking population, so a lot of services are in Spanish too) made me think it was probably made in California.

    From the Japanese point of view:
    In Japan, small earthquakes occur daily throughout the country. The only time an alert like the one in this video is issued is when there is a direct threat to life. Those who say they are not afraid are saying this because they do not live in Japan. The generation of Japanese who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake have this sound etched into their spines.

    Edit: okay so this comment is still getting replies so I thought it was important to address a few things.
    I’m very aware that this is a response to trauma. I know all about PTSD. I was in the deadly Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. There are certain sounds today that freak me out.
    Secondly, I wanted to apologise to everyone who experienced the Japanese earthquake. I am so sorry. There are no words to provide comfort for the horrors you have experienced.
    Lastly, I just want to remind everyone to be kind to one another, because our days are limited, and life can be taken from you in the blink of an eye. Stay safe everyone ❤️

      It’s mainly because it’s frightening by association.

I fell into a rabbit hole of UA-cam videos from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the following tsunami and now associate that beeping with what happened on 3.11. What happened in Tōhoku that day must have left a huge mark on the Japanese if someone my age gets scared watching video footage from a decade after the actual event - I'm sure the EAS is way worse for them.

      People just don't know that we are conditioned to associate certain sounds with an anxiety response. The sounds of hospital equipment skeeve me the hell out because I associate it with when my grandma was in the hospital many years ago. There's an alarm that goes off to signal end of shift at this factory near my boyfriend's place and it just reminds me so much of Silent Hill. My aunt in California used to live in LA where there were earthquakes and they were scary for my cousins. They had to stand in a doorway or sit under a table. When there were wildfire warnings, they had to spray the roof of their home with water from the hose and only take very important items such as documents, medications, clothes and that's pretty much it when it came to evacuating.

      I agree, but I've got an explanation why tornado sirens and warnings are so abrupt, and that's because that's the absolute nature of tornadoes. They can spawn out of nearly nowhere and in an instant, and can disappear just as fast, so they might assume the viewer has gone ahead and made preparations for the emergency and are not watching anymore. I know the last tornado scare we had the channel still kept playing and relaying information even after the warning, but not all warnings are built the same

      EAS usually have to be short (or timely) because if something like a tornado is coming, then you can't take 10 minutes talking about the history of tornadoes. You have to tell people to take shelter quick and what to do if there's no shelter/car/etc. The more detailed reports would come after the storm. Of course for stuff like COVID though you could take a while, but it's easier to redirect people to a website anyway.

    9:00 if I am correct, this is the US emergency alert system in Spanish. It says Sacramento so I’m assuming it’s the one in California. The alert also sounds like the US nation wide alert known as the emergency action notification (renamed to national emergency message).

    Australia’s bushfire warning gave me chills, not just because of the siren either. A few times the speaker touched on situations where you might not be able to be saved, and it sure seems effective to get people moving, because it’s horrifying for me to listen to. Imagine being trapped inside your house with fire all around you, and having no way to escape. The heat of the flames are lulling you to sleep, and your eyes are dilating until you pass out. From that point forward, you are unconscious and the fire is slowly coming to you with no way for you to survive it.
    Edit: I gotta say, ever since I posted this comment a year ago, you all have had some moving things to say about your experiences with the fires. I’m really happy I got the chance to connect so many people. Thank you all for sharing.

Fortunately it doesn't scare me as bad, though I don't really hear it anymore, since any EAS I see first on my phone, and the IPhone alarm isn't scary at all.

      they do that because they need to highlight every possibility. bushfires are largely unpredictable and move fast. its not as simple as get in your car or stay in your home. they make references to plans that people in Australia renew annually about how to escape. they need to let us know when to (or if it's too late) to enact that plan. air quality indexes are important as Canberra (our capital city) was the most toxic place on earth for air quality (i think) last year. in Australia we also like reasons for doing things. as an example, the following: "do not drive your car" is too vague in a situation like a bushfire. a more situation appropriate statement may follow the lines of: "in *insert town name(s) here*, it is too late to leave. trees may have fallen on to roads and access is needed for emergency services. in *insert town name(s) here*, it is heavily recommended to evacuate now as it may not be safe to do so later."
