In the army we had a saying, "If eveything is a crisis, then nothing is a crisis."
We are inundated with information. Amber Alerts, Silver Alerts, Blue Alerts, Heat Advisories, traffic stappages. We've lowered the threshhold for hurricanes, named tropical depressions, named winter storms and send any number of other "ALERTS" to our mobile phones and devices. Who can forget the "COVID Emergency" alerts on our phones? Authorities have done so to the point that many people have turned off alerts and largely tuned out weather.
