Yep, I just received it on my phone, which wasn't fun because I was listening to music, my phone blasted the emergency tone at full volume through my earpods. It really hurt :(
Anyway, good to see that the emergency system works. I just received a second message with a whatsapp number and twitter handle which you can use in case of emergency.
Oh shit -- it was a really loud jarring sound, it must have been painful. They have recently started sending test phone alerts at the same time they perform the regular first Monday of the month noon emergency alert siren tests in Amsterdam. Maybe you should set an alarm just before then to make sure you're not listening to music!
I feel like that is a pretty significant issue with the alert system, and could cause legitimate hearing damage. If you have headphones in, it should be assumed that you are paying attention and don't need to be woken up, and play at low volume.
