A lot of conversations seem fixated on what's the worst that could happen if the wrong message was sent, but very few of these people are considering what's the worst that could happen if the right message wasn't sent. Also, it's very likely that the dropdown message text was not added by a developer, and this addition of the messages by non-technical users should also be part of that UX conversation.

Tsunami warning: Everyone seeks high ground.

Missile warning: Everyone flees to basements.

Apropos to nothing, the actual user experience between a Tsunami and a Nuke are quite different.
If the nuke is off target and lands in the water you could have both?
