The Emergency Broadcast System

I think it may be because so many people are moving to different parts of the country for work, family, school and they are not aware of the elements. I also believe many people have lost the common sense of know the limits between danger and wheat is not dangerous.

I just cannot stress enough how truly, totally over simplified some of this stuff actually needs to be to make sense to some people. I pay attention to the EBS because I know when it’s activated a lot of people I want to avoid are going to do exactly the opposite of whatever it says to do and I want to know where they are headed so I can stay clear of them. When Mt. Saint Helens blew quite a few people’s response to the EBS warning advisories about that was to stay put and take their chances with swimming in hot molten lava. What the…? I seriously do not ever want to wind up in any kind of life or death crisis situation with people like that! I may not be that much an expert in survival but I do know this – when a volcano blows at the very least don’t run towards it! You’d be surprised how many people have to be told not to.

Maybe with all the real time "social media" and "instant news feeds" the EBS is in need of being updated and overhauled??
