Suppose around a chemical plant which uses or produces noxious substances there is a warning system
installed for the local population, to warn of biohazards.

First implementation: sirens. We may presume the siren system is E/E/PE rather than, say,
hamster-driven.
Second implementation: SMS/WhatsApp/Signal messages to mobile phones.

Question 1: does the first come under 61508? Why? If no, why not?
Question 2: Suppose the answer to Q1 is yes. Does the 2nd implementation also come under 61508?
Question 3: Suppose the answer to Q1 is no. Does the 2nd immplementation come under 61508.
