To be fair, I'd rather that the UX design err on the side of getting the alert out than not issuing the alert at all.

A false positive in this case is much better than a false negative. A few minutes/hours of temporary fear is better than thousands dead because they didn't get to shelter.

As such I'm grateful for the current design.
