A BePrepared Solutions report series

Alert Pulse

Each month we look at the emergency alerts sent across the United States and what happened behind them: the floods, fires, storms and evacuations, where they hit, and what they cost.

Every edition counts distinct warnings rather than the messages that repeat them, excludes tests, reports times in the local hour each alert was sent, and publishes what the data cannot answer alongside what it can. The figures are downloadable and free to cite.
