Perhaps the threat of receiving a $10,000 or more bill (not a fine,
merely a bill) will make folks more aware.

I think that after you factor in the costs of the panic/shutdown and business
loss, that you're looking at something more like $250,000. An G-d help you if
someone gets hurt during the evacuation.
