The problem is very localized - a few blocks, I'd say. People start calling 911 on their cell phones to say, "Hey, there's people beating each other up and screaming about seeing devils and having epileptic seizures or something, can you send the police?" But the police, of course, are affected by the problem as well, as are the press. So a state of emergency needs to be declared, to tell people to stay away from the area, since it can't effectively be cordoned off. How does that happen? Does the mayor say, "Okay, all local stations need to broadcast a message"?
