I really don't think that many people come here to read warnings for their local area. I would imagine this site is extremely low on the general public's list of resources. This is more of a hobbyist's or enthusiast's site.
Personally I think the warnings just clutter up the thread.
Maybe a thread in the forum support section to discuss this matter?
