I suspect that I would also not react if an alarm like that went off. I live in a decidedly third tier American city, but there is a large defense contractor presence here. So if nuclear war were to come, I am not sure I would want to survive the first blast only to die of second order effects in the weeks or months ahead. Since I am not in one of the first tier cities, who concieveably would be the more likely victims of more limited engagements, and therefore could concieveably be helped out by the remaining civil society, I just don't see the point.
And I do always leave the building when the fire alarm goes off, and I always evacuate for severe hurricanes. So it is not that I ignore all warnings. I just don't see much utility in reacting to a warning of a nuclear attack.
