What should a government agency do if it has partial, incomplete (and possibly incorrect) information on a situation that could be disastrous for its citizens? For example, it may have data about an impending earthquake, tsunami, violent weather, or volcanic ash clouds — but it may be unsure of the validity and it may not be sure when the event is going to happen, if at all. Should the government warn its citizens, possibly causing major dislocations and discomfort, or should it keep quiet, at least until it has more accurate information?
