* PoorCommunicationKills: The "Lost in Silence" scenario among various channels, popularized by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9ujfAvcIh4 The [=EAS=] Experience]]. The scenario involves a national emergency of any sort being played but the listener unable to receive the message before it's too late. Whether because of poor connection or trouble finding the channel that serves the listener's area, it almost always ends in a DownerEnding.
* StylisticSuck: Scenarios taking place further back in time will often evoke {{Retraux}} graphics in some way to represent older emergency systems such as CONELRAD, the EBS, or a pre-IPAWS EAS.

Sometimes in a more realistic manner (e.g. most disasters are caused by a series of events *and* lead to other events), sometimes in an absurd or surreal manner (e.g. that missing kid is the trigger for a series of events that lead up to global thermonuclear war, that weird little stolen artifact discovered carries destructive potential)
