False alarms create alarm fatigue. This can create more risk than it solves.

It might be wiser to:

1. Ignore specific occurrences to avoid giving the neighborhood narcissistic bully attention. Their ego uses this for oxygen.

2. Every few months, run preparedness drills for getting to strong shelters coinciding with testing the J-Alert system.

3. Only use the J-Alert system for a credible threat.

I was discussing this with my family the other day. Here on television they now do an every few days broadcast alert. Then amber alert tests. Then weekly emergency system alert test. Also now we have silver alerts for old people who get lost.

The result is what feels like daily (sometimes multiple times/day!) alerts.

My SO's grandmother is the only one who watches cable, but the whole house runs to turn off the tv or mute it asap when we hear it.

Exactly the opposite effect/behavior the alerts are supposed to have.

It's like when your boss marks everything urgent so nothing is.

Side note- so many good songs have been ruined for me by repeated pushes of commercials using the hook/catchy part of the song max volume for whatever amazon or pill garbage. Horns honking or surens blaring.

Looks like this was a credible threat, with the trajectory ending on a land. Then the missile was lost and alert was updated as non-threat. Not clear if this has been an escalation or just a mistake.
