¿Esto suena natural? After the large earthquake, they noticed me that they are safe.

"they were safe" or "they survived" would be fine.
But I think you need to change "noticed".
"After the large earthquake, they messaged me that they were safe."

Thank you, Igirisujin! That makes sense! Also it seems I misremembered the meaning of "notice"....

"Notice" does mean "be aware of" but not "make someone aware of". They would need to tell you in some way... phone, email, etc.
But the important thing is I can understand you. =)

Right. That's interesting because "notice" as in "notice board" is meant to make people aware of, but this may be just Japanese way of thinking.... Anyway, thank you for your additional comment too, Igirisujin! :)

That's right. The kanji for 掲示板 has a different meaning.
The way we think of notice board is "a board for notices".
Very interesting. Thanks!

Your question "She kept smiling..." is closed so I'm using this one. =)
In the email you asked if you could use "in front of" to mean "being around" people. Yes, you can.
"in front of her sisters" just means "when they are there", not literally in front.
