As a prepper, one of the biggest challenges we face is getting notified of major events that occur. Because we want to stay ahead of the curve when it comes time to do things like bug out or enact other parts of our preparedness plan, getting timely information is critical.

This podcast is the interview with Steven Aukstakalnis of AlertsUSA.com. AlertsUSA.com is an alert service unlike any other that I've used. It provides a nearly instant alert for events that happen across the globe and especially the USA. The alerts are sent via SMS directly to your phone, so you'll be notified of major events, even if you're not near a TV, radio or computer.
