This is an interesting point. But observation as well as many studies show that what moves people to act (and me too, often enough) is not abstract or purely cognitive information, but some dramatic event or events that capture their attention and the attention of others too.
I knew a lot about New Orleans vulnerability, physical as well as social. But until I saw that stuff, I actually considered moving there because of other aspects that I like.
