Common questions
Is this an emergency information service?
No. Fault and Flood reports on hazards and events after they are covered elsewhere, and it carries no alerts, sirens or live instructions. In an emergency, your local authorities and the national warning systems are the only sources to act on.
How is it organised?
Hazards holds the type of event, Seasons follows the recurring calendar of them, Response covers what agencies and insurers did afterwards, Preparedness covers published guidance, and Regions groups it geographically across North America. News carries all of it in the order it landed, and a single event usually turns up under both a hazard and a region.
How do you know what you publish?
From named news outlets, agency statements and scientific bodies, summarised with the source credited and linked in every article. Casualty and damage figures belong to the body that published them, and they change as the event develops.
Is the preparedness material yours?
No. Preparedness reports guidance published by named agencies and organisations, attributed to them, rather than offering a plan of our own. Follow the linked original before you rely on any of it.
Are these written by journalists?
No individual is credited. Pieces are written with automated assistance and name the source publication in place of an author, and nobody here is presented as an emergency manager or a scientist.
Is there any tracking or advertising?
None. No cookies, no analytics, no advertising, and no fonts or images fetched from elsewhere, so no third party learns that you visited.
