1) Make sure emergency news is distributed clearly to as wide an audience as possible. Not only through TV but media that those who canna afford TVs and radios would have access to.
At home, in an estate, blocks of apartments/homes have a volunteer neighbourhood committee who are responsible for each group to distribute news. To -everyone- in that grouping, especially the old folks, those who don't have TVs. They go door-to-door.
2) Media should stop pursuing sensationalist stories and report facts and news. I try to keep an open mind about news reported on TV and in the papers but sometimes I get de-sensitised and dismiss the stories as 'stories to sell ads'.
