A disaster warning app asks me whether I want notifications for 警報 or for 注意報
or both.

First I signed up for both, but it sends me notifications about
inconsequential things such as air dryness. So I would like to receive
notifications only for the most dangerous stuff like powerful typhoons.

Which is most critical? 警報 or 注意報?

Both translate to "warning" in my dictionary.

Which is most critical? 警報 or 注意報?
In the weather warning context, 警報 is more critical than 注意報. Currently the
Met Agency defines three alert levels: 特別警報, 警報, and 注意報, for each translated
by them _Emergency Warning_ , _Warning_ , and _Advisory_. They are usually
painted with purple, red, and yellow colors on a map.
