Author of How to Prep When You’re Broke and Bloom Where You’re Planted online course There is something incredibly powerful about advance knowledge of an event. If you have an early warning, you can take important preparedness and safety steps before those around you even know there’s an issue. You have a better chance of keeping your loved ones safe. You won’t drive right into an emergency while it’s happening. Selco has talked about missing his window to leave the city when the SHTF occurred. If he and his family had realized at the time how serious the situation was, his story would be a whole lot different. There are a few ways to set up your own advance warning system about local and world events using the technology that is practically omnipresent in our modern society. News alerts There are all sorts of places where you can sign up for local news alerts. If you are a Google user, you can use Google News set to your location. I used this all over the world while traveling and managed to avoid a number of heated protests and transportation glitches. There are apps like Google News, AP News, and Fox News that will notify you when something important is going on.  The problem I’ve found with these is that there are too many notifications. I can’t handle my phone constantly pinging at me to let me know about something that isn’t actually that important to my survival. You can dabble with your settings but I ended up removing all that stuff from my device. Local alerts When I lived in California, there were numerous natural disasters we faced, such as wildfires, landslides, and other crazy events. I signed up with both my local sheriff’s department and CalFire to receive direct alerts to my phone warning me about road closures, evacuation notices, and changes in the fire. This helped me to make my decisions on when to bug out and often got me on the road ahead of others. It aided me in navigating around closed roads and was incredibly valuable. Check your local municipal websites to see if your area has something similar. Checking the news You can also bookmark some trusted websites with local news, national news, and world news. I have a huge list of these and I spend a while each morning and evening looking at them and reading pertinent information. The downside is that unless you are looking for it, you won’t get this information in a timely fashion. While I don’t recommend being “on” 24/7, there are some things that I want to know immediately. I’ve discussed previously the dangers of spending too much time sucked into the news. I set a time limit and I have specific times of day that I check the news. Alerts USA The secret weapon that I’ve used for years is a service called Alerts USA. This is a service that sends text message alerts directly to your phone when an event of national significance occurs. You get Homeland Security threat and incident notifications straight to your device. (Obviously, these are the unclassified warnings.) I have found this to be completely unbiased and factual. Here are some alerts I received this weekend. (These are the screenshots from my phone.) I generally know something is happening long before the news is reporting on it. I was actually watching a live stream when President Trump was shot in Pennsylvania and within minutes I had a notification to my phone – this was long before any news source was providing information. I know because I was looking and trying to find out what had happened and how seriously he’d been injured. Some of the notifications provided by Alerts USA are terror attacks, warnings and advisories, mass shooting incidents, travel alerts and embassy messages for major destinations, threats to transportation and critical infrastructure, emergency declarations at nuclear power stations, tsunami warnings, and much more. I’ve used this service all over the world to warn me of areas from which I need to steer clear. I’ve also been able to warn loved ones about events happening in their areas. When my daughter had a doctor’s appointment in Vancouver, I was recently able to direct her around an active event occurring in the city. You can subscribe here for $99 a year. It is one of the most worthwhile subscriptions that I have, and I’m happy to continue paying for it year after year. I can also vouch for their customer service. Over the years, I have changed phone numbers with ease, and I had one small issue with notifications. The assistance was prompt, courteous, and efficient. This is an American company with an American managing any issues you may encounter. Of course, if you don’t have a smartphone, this is not an option that will work for you, though they do follow up with an email. If it’s not in the budget, other options listed here can help. There’s no pressure from me for you to subscribe – I just wanted to share something that has worked for me. With events in the world speeding up, I didn’t want to keep such a valuable resource to myself. What about you? How do you keep up with current events and breaking news?
