Intelligence reports from preppers around the world. 1. What are you seeing that affects your prepping? Post should be based on something you’re actually seeing / experiencing locally. If it is outside of your area / is speculation, prepare to have current and substantial evidence such as multiple and neutral links as to not have the content removed. 2. Post title must have a general description, location / region plus flair. We’re not asking or wanting exact locations, just a general idea of where you’re talking about in the beginning of the title. It greatly helps people read / filter posts. 3. If your post isn’t from your own eyes but affects you, it is encouraged to have evidence. (Links) Recent and up to date links, benefit all and help others understand and contribute to your post. 4. Unconstructive comments may lead to removals or bans. We are here to gather intel, not hate. This includes personal attacks, name calling, pushing politics, religion, racism, sexism, condoning / avocation of violence, trolling, ill will towards others and so on. 5. If you feel that the intel is wrong, link your own recent and relevant intel on the direct subject. If you feel the need to argue back, calmly do so with recent and relevant evidence on the subject. We do not care who you are, or which side you’re on, we seek truth and transparency through sheer informational evidence. If your view isn’t backed up, (and at this point likely causing an issue) it may be subject to removal. User may have a chance to research and find intel to restore their comment after contacting a moderator… Don’t make a habit of this. --------------------------------------------------------- OUTSIDE LEMMY SITES: Overview of U.S. Freight [https://explore.dot.gov/t/BTS/views/Dashboard_PortbyCommodity/Overview?%3Aiid=1&%3AisGuestRedirectFromVizportal=y&%3Aembed=y&%3AusingOldHashUrl=true] Rail traffic data [https://www.aar.org/data-center/rail-traffic-data/] RSOE Map [http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php?area=usa#] Crisis Map [https://google.org/crisismap/weather_and_events] US fires map [https://fsapps.nwcg.gov/afm/newlargeincidents.php] Power outage map [https://poweroutage.us/] Lightning map [https://www.blitzortung.org/en/live_lightning_maps.php] Weather mapping [https://www.noaa.gov/] Weather mapping 2 [https://www.ventusky.com/] Weather mapping 3 [https://earth.nullschool.net/] Red Cross Weather mapping [http://maps.redcross.org/website/weather/arc_weather.html] Food storage Calc [https://foodassets.com/info/food-calculator.html] Outdoor Activity map [https://www.strava.com/heatmap#7.00/-120.90000/38.36000/hot/all] Disease related [https://www.cdc.gov/] Disease related 2 [https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/] USGS info [https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ngm-bin/ngm_compsearch.pl] Rivers Mapping [https://txpub.usgs.gov/DSS/streamer/web/] National Water Information System [https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis] Flight Map [https://www.flightradar24.com/38.74,-82.97/7] Flight Map 2 [https://flightaware.com/live/] Train Rail map [https://www.openrailwaymap.org/] Live Rail Cams + recorded trains [https://www.youtube.com/c/VirtualRailfan/videos] Fixed internet map [https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/#/] Ham Radio Related AmRRON [https://amrron.com/communications-resources/ch3-project/] RepeaterBook [https://repeaterbook.com/] QRZ [https://www.qrz.com/] HamStudy [https://hamstudy.org/] HamRadioPrep [https://hamradioprep.com/] USRACES [http://www.usraces.org/] RadioReference [https://www.radioreference.com/] State Taxes Map [https://engaging-data.com/taxes-state/] Assistance [https://findhelp.org/] US Debt Clock [https://www.usdebtclock.org/] Live Fuel prices [https://www.gasbuddy.com/] Inflation Calc [https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/] Multi-use calculator [https://www.wolframalpha.com/] Basic Commodities Charting [https://tradingeconomics.com/commodities] Massive Open Source Collection of Stock Market Tools & Resources EDUCATIONAL VIDEO CHANNELS: (Few favorites) Food supply insights [https://www.youtube.com/c/IceAgeFarmer/videos] Global Energy, Mining, Water & other [https://www.youtube.com/user/LucarioandDialga/videos] Economic Insights (often with a whiteboard) [https://www.youtube.com/c/GeorgeGammon/videos] Street level Economics insights [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkB8eF4ATHl4Jm1BeCZgQ9A/videos] More economics [https://www.youtube.com/c/EconomicsExplained/videos]
