  1. News about a disaster that could affect you. Most warnings aren't that big a deal, but occasionally you get a Hurricane Katrina.

I think if you have enough local friends, that falls into 1. (I got a bunch of warning about recent bad weather in the Bay Area, because of how many Facebook friends I have there.)

Your general point is correct, that knowing about the general state of reality can be useful because reality can collide into your plans. But it's not clear to me you need to do much of that filtering yourself.
