Near-Term Preparedness Priorities (24-72 Hours)

Threat 1: Southeast Storm Impacts

• Threat Description: Heavy rains and flooding from storm remnants disrupting travel and power.
• Geographic Impact: FL, GA, SC coastal areas.
• Population at Risk: Rural and coastal preppers reliant on roads.
• Likelihood Assessment: High.
• Potential Impact: Flooded access, power outages affecting food storage.
• Recommended Actions: Elevate supplies, prepare sandbags, charge devices.
• Monitoring Indicators: NOAA updates, rising river levels.

Threat 2: Fuel Price Volatility

• Threat Description: Global tensions driving up costs, potential shortages.
• Geographic Impact: Nationwide, esp. West Coast.
• Population at Risk: Off-grid homesteaders dependent on generators.
• Likelihood Assessment: Medium.
• Potential Impact: Reduced mobility, higher resupply costs.
• Recommended Actions: Top off fuel tanks, ration usage.
• Monitoring Indicators: EIA price reports, local station stock.

Key Indicators

• Monitoring Points: NOAA weather alerts, USGS earthquake monitoring, local crime statistics
• Emerging Trends: Increased supply chain disruptions, rising fuel prices, cyber threats to infrastructure
• Critical Thresholds: Tropical storm category changes, fuel price spikes over $4/gallon, grid outage reports

Source Assessment

• Source Reliability: A (Government sites like NOAA, USGS); B (News like Krebs).
• Information Confidence: High for weather/economic data; Medium for cyber trends.
• Collection Gaps: Limited real-time rural crime stats; monitor forums for anecdotes.
