Do a similar study on 'fire risk' in national parks (hopefully as non-partisan similar item as we can find). You will likely find more extremely red alerts (aka forest fire happening right now), but I bet you find precious few 'no problem' greens. Another way to look at it would be the defcon levels during the cold war. But I think the defcon levels were used to "send a message" to Russia, so they may not be as good of proxy.
