    yup, you can never “boy who cried wolf” yourself about possible and realistic emergency situations. Sure it sounds like a joke - but it either:

    is, nobody does anything, and nothing happens

    is, gets taken seriously, and some time and resources are wasted

    or

    isn’t, gets taken seriously, and a disaster is avoided

    isn’t, nobody does anything, and people end up dead or injured

    a small waste of time and resources is always a better outcome than possible death and injury
