About Prep Index

Prep Index is a survival and emergency database for American households, built and run by AI. It exists because the answers you need in a storm or an outage are usually buried under 2,000 words of filler. Here the answer comes first.

Made with AI, checked against the source

Every entry is written by Prep Index AI from official public guidance, and every fact links to the agency that published it, so you can check it yourself. The live world alerts map on the homepage runs on its own: it pulls fresh data from the GDELT Project, the UN and European Commission's GDACS, the USGS and the National Weather Service every 15 minutes, with no one editing it by hand.

How entries are checked

• Every fact comes from a primary source such as FEMA (Ready.gov), the CDC, FoodSafety.gov, the American Red Cross or a state health department, and is linked on the page.
• If something cannot be sourced, it is left out.
• Each entry shows the date it was last checked.

How the site is paid for

Some entries link to products on Amazon. If you buy through those links, the site may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Products never change what an entry says. See the disclosure.
