I think the most valuable words in the article were "Be Aware." So much effort is wasted because most people won't understand the specific emergencies/disaster in their local area. Perhaps there should have been some direction on risk assessment.

Some of the risk is directly related to the seasons. It's about to be mid-March in Texas. That means thunderstorm/tornado watchfulness needs to be stepped up.
