Explain how media sensationalism helps 1-5. The people are already very aware, authorities are already aware, you're already aware. so we can't use the awareness angle.

I don't know what you mean by "sensationalism" so I will only say this:

Such disasters need to be heavily reported on because that's the only way for better regulation and prevention.

Furthermore, there is things that have to be done for the town to become safe and for the people to be taken care of and compensated.

And that's about it, really.

We have a very different view of how media ends up affecting outcomes. I haven't seen many positive outcomes from media involvement, the cycle is too quick and the viewpoints heavily biased.
