+By extending the event with subcomponents, you can create multiple alarms::

+  >>> from datetime import timedelta
+  >>> alarm_1h_before = Alarm()
+  >>> alarm_1h_before.add('action', 'DISPLAY')
+  >>> alarm_1h_before.add('trigger', timedelta(hours=-1))

+  >>> alarm_24h_before.add('description', 'Reminder: Event in 24 hours')
