The widespread panic and mass evacuations may be disproportionate to the actual threat, with many areas experiencing waves well below initial forecasts. Hawaii residents expressed desensitization to warnings following the 2018 false missile alert, suggesting alert fatigue could undermine future emergency responses. The economic disruption from shutting down transportation, closing facilities, and evacuating millions may exceed the actual damage from relatively modest tsunami waves.
