How we pick the news

THE WALL

The wall is news that matters to a household that wants to be ready. Power and the grid, weather and disasters, food and water, health, the economy, security, cyber. We pull headlines from left, right and center, and a story turns red when three or more outlets are on it.

We rewrite each headline in plain words so you can tell what happened at a glance. Hold your mouse over one to see the outlet's original. Every headline still links straight to the outlet that wrote the story. A few stories a day get our own short brief, shown in orange.

Right now an agent drafts the wall and Will approves it. Every story we pick is logged.

THE THREAT BOARD

The board is the opposite of the wall. No headlines, no takes, only official data. National Weather Service warnings for your exact spot, USGS earthquakes, FAA airport status, NOAA space weather, and county power outages from MassOutage.

Fixed rules set your status. No AI decides it. When a feed stops answering we say so, and a quiet feed never counts as all clear.

This isn't an emergency service. Your phone's emergency alerts and your local officials come first.
