[EAS] Ashanti Alert??

[Barry Mishkind]

The proliferation of warnings is now seeping into social media and even
door bells.  Do any of you have "Ring" doorbells?  Part of the package is
a "neighborhood watch" that warns people of bad actors. Over the months,
this has mutated to "who rang my doorbell today?" (meaning ANYONE that
comes to a door), and now multiple lost or found dog reports. 

It seems like we are close to "someone drove down my street" alerts. 

Can there be any reason people are ignoring many official alerts, when
and if they are even issued?

I feel the need to remind one and all, including "lurkers" on this list,  that the United States still does not have a thoughtful, coherent and clearly articulated national public warning strategy.
