Here’s a story I just did for Governing Magazine about how to get people to listen to disaster warnings. Basically, it was a good excuse for me to finally investigate the back story of last year’s mysterious “certain death” warning before Hurricane Ike…
Personally, I kind of like the drama of the “certain death” warning. Too bad we won’t be hearing it again anytime soon.

We need more of these. “Certain Death”, “Probable Death”, Possible death, how lucky are you feeling?”, “Potential Maiming”, “Potential Loss of free roaming pets”, “Likely damage to delicate herbacious borders” down to “delayed tee off times” - something for every possible disaster!

the link for how to get people to listen to disaster warnings isn’t working and I’m very interested in reading it for a semester paper… any other place I can find it?
