That's a good point, but you also have to guard against false alarms. I think I would design things so an ordinary person can easily rouse their neighborhood, but not the entire community. Gongs or bells (or perhaps a localized alarm system) seem about right for the job. Coordinating with the town guard should probably be the neighborhood watch's job.
