Example householdTry it: tap the alert ## Product walkthrough: See What's Coming Before It Reaches You ## The problems we built BeAware to solve These are the situations we hear about from families around us. ### I didn't know something was wrong until it was too late. A wildfire was 12 miles away and I had no idea until I smelled smoke. By then, half my neighbors had already left. ### When something fails, I'm the last to find out — and the last to know when it ends. The power went out for three days and nobody could tell us why or when it was coming back. We just sat in the dark. ### I have no reliable way to know what's happening in my own neighborhood. There was a chemical spill two blocks from my kid's school and I found out from a neighbor's text, not any official source. ## 20+ data sources. Your address. Nothing you don't need to know. We monitor authoritative sources around the clock and translate what we find into plain-English alerts — matched to your address, delivered only when something material is happening. Here's what we watch for. ### What we'll alert you about Every alert is matched to your address. You only hear from us when something material is happening near you. #### Weather & Natural Events - Tornado warning - Severe thunderstorm - Flash flood warning - Hurricane warning - Winter storm / blizzard - Extreme heat advisory - Wildfire warning - Earthquake warning #### Air & Environment - Air quality alert - Smoke advisory - Chemical spill nearby - Hazmat incident #### Civil & Safety - Evacuation or shelter-in-place - School lockdown / active threat - Area closure / criminal activity - Disaster declaration - Amber Alert - 911 service outage - Civil unrest / curfew order #### Infrastructure - Electric outage - Gas service disruption - Water service disruption - Boil water notice #### Digital & Connectivity - Internet service outage - Cellular network outage - Major cloud provider outage - Communications platform outage Alert preferences are configurable from your dashboard once you're set up. ### Verified sources we monitor ![NOAA / NWS](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fsources%2Fnoaa.png&w=64&q=75) NOAA / NWS Weather watches, warnings & advisories ![USGS](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fsources%2Fusgs.png&w=64&q=75) USGS Earthquakes & geological hazards ![FEMA / IPAWS](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fsources%2Ffema.png&w=64&q=75) FEMA / IPAWS Federal disaster & emergency alerts ![EPA AirNow](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fsources%2Fepa.png&w=64&q=75) EPA AirNow Air quality & pollution alerts ![State OES](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fsources%2Fstate_oes.png&w=64&q=75) State OES State emergency management feeds ![Utility Providers](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fsources%2Futility.png&w=64&q=75) Utility Providers Electric, gas & water outages ![Police & EMS](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fsources%2Fems.png&w=64&q=75) Police & EMS Local civil safety events ![ISP Providers](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fsources%2Fisp.png&w=64&q=75) ISP Providers Internet & connectivity outages ### Only what matters to you.

Every 5 min #### Digital infrastructure Internet provider, cloud, and connectivity status. The outages that take down communications, not just power. Hourly #### Air & water conditions EPA AirNow air quality plus live USGS stream gauges near your address. ### Analyzed for your address baseline report Flood risk FEMA flood zones, USGS gauge and peak-flow history, official flood stages, and the upstream dam inventory. Fire & seismic history The USGS earthquake catalog, USFS wildfire hazard potential, and historical fire perimeters around you. Air & water quality EPA air-quality history, toxic-release facilities, and drinking-water systems with their compliance records. Local infrastructure DOT bridge conditions, grid reliability records, and the elevation and terrain around your home. Emergency services Your nearest hospitals, fire stations, and EMS, enriched with federal hospital capacity data. Disaster history Federal disaster declarations and decades of NOAA storm-event records for your county. A typical weather app stops at your county line. BeAware reads 20+ authoritative data sources against your exact address, including your elevation, flood zone, nearest stream gauge, and utility territory, so what reaches you is a decision, not a headline. ## Choose your plan ### BeAware - 12-section intelligence report - 10 years of historical critical events - Utilities, Fire, EMS & Hospitals - Flood, earthquake & hazard risks - Real-time alerts across 6 live source categories - Configure alert channels & thresholds: Email, SMS, WhatsApp [Get Started](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/solutions/BeAware/setup) ### BeReady - Personalized Emergency Plan - Unlimited learning articles - Practical skill builder - Kit & supply recommendations [Explore BeReady](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/solutions/BeReady#hero) Best Value ### BeAware & BeReady - Everything in BeAware - Everything in BeReady - Plus - 15% off BeAdvised[About BeAdvised →](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/solutions/BeAdvised) [Get Started](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/get-started?product=combo) ## Frequently asked questions ### What's in the report? A 12-section intelligence product covering your geophysical profile, flood zone analysis, complete utility provider stack with contact numbers, historical events (seismic, flood, weather), an AI-synthesized risk assessment, and a seasonal risk calendar — all specific to your exact address. ### What sources do you monitor? NOAA/NWS and FEMA via IPAWS for weather and emergency alerts, USGS for earthquakes and geological events, EPA AirNow for air quality, State OES feeds, utility providers directly for outages, Police & EMS for civil safety events, and ISP providers for internet and connectivity outages. Weather alerts are near real-time; other sources are checked multiple times daily. ### How often will I receive alerts? Only when something material changes near your address. Most subscribers go weeks without an alert — and that's intentional. We calibrate thresholds so silence means nothing significant is happening. ### How is this different from county emergency alerts? County systems send broad area alerts. We match each alert to your address, layer in multiple agency feeds you'd never subscribe to manually, and translate official language into plain English with a clear "what this means for you." ### Can I upgrade later? Yes, seamlessly. Upgrade from Basic to Standard or Premium at any time. Your report and monitoring history carry over — no re-setup needed. ### What if I move? Change your monitored address anytime from your dashboard. We'll generate a new report for your new location and update your monitoring configuration automatically. ### Is my address kept private? Your address is used only to generate your report and calibrate monitoring. We don't sell it, share it with advertisers, or use it for any purpose beyond the service you signed up for. ### Do you sell my data? No. We never sell your address, share it with data brokers or advertisers, or use it for anything beyond delivering the service you subscribed to. No ads. No data brokering. No "freemium" surveillance. ## Start with your address. We'll handle the rest.
