In plain English

We avoid jargon where we can. When something is serious, we say so clearly. Official warnings always beat this website — use BOM, your state emergency service, and local fire apps first.

Nuclear risk — honesty box

For nuclear risk, the useful levers are mostly politics and verified arms limits, not a household kit. For heat, fire, and flood, household prep works. This site will not pretend a go-bag solves nuclear war.

When Google Maps dies, people panic

This site is not turn-by-turn navigation. Prepare before that day.

  1. Install Organic Maps or OsmAnd and download your state on Wi‑Fi.
  2. Screenshot or print leave-early routes and a suburb street map.
  3. Write on paper: meeting place, two exits, emergency numbers.
  4. Open this site once so the briefing can save offline.

Not in Australia?

One person per country is enough to start

Fork the main branch template. Add local agencies, local history people recognise, offline map notes, and real leave-early advice. National agencies issue warnings — this project turns them into checkable, plain-language context so people prepare before the siren.
