There is yet another problematic item, as anyone who saw the TV news report showing the menu screen in question at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency knows.
The screen, shown in attached link (small image 1/3 way down at left), has about 10 items. And the test warning button and the real warning are not strikingly different, without a reading of the text, nor does the real warning stand out from the other items on the screen.
