In emergency management, the difference between effective preparation and reactive scrambling often comes down to one thing: timely, actionable intelligence.

Integrate insights directly into your custom instructions, and Preppr's Exercise Designer will create exercises that reflect these real-world threats—keeping you ahead of emerging risks.

Real-World Example: August 2025 National Threat Assessment

To show you the power of Preppr Intelligence, here's a preview of what it discovered when we asked about national threats to the U.S. for August 2025:

• Active wildfire season in Western states with 44,000+ acres already burned in Utah alone

• Peak hurricane season with 13-19 named storms predicted through November

• Extreme heat events across multiple regions, now deadlier than floods and hurricanes combined

• FEMA facing unprecedented challenges with proposed budget cuts of nearly $1 billion while managing multiple disasters

• Critical gaps in weather forecasting following significant National Weather Service staffing cuts

Need specific exercise design recommendations based on these converging threats?

Why This Matters Now

Traditional approaches to emergency preparedness often rely on annual threat assessments or after-action reports from previous disasters. But threats evolve daily. New policies change response landscapes overnight. Climate patterns shift. Social dynamics create new vulnerabilities.

Preppr Intelligence ensures you're never caught off-guard. Whether it's tracking an emerging infectious disease, monitoring infrastructure vulnerabilities, or identifying policy changes that affect your response capabilities, you'll have the intelligence you need to adapt your preparedness efforts in real-time.

How Do We Do This

Unlike basic web search capabilities you may see when using OpenAI or Claude, Preppr Intelligence is built on top of an integration with AskNews, a cutting-edge news API designed specifically for AI applications. AskNews updates their news index every 5 minutes, ensuring you're never more than minutes behind breaking developments. They enrich and index 300,000 to 500,000 news articles per day across 200+ countries. The system draws from an extensive range of sources:

• Licensed News Sources: Traditional media outlets, wire services, and established publications providing authoritative reporting.

• Unlicensed Sources: Independent publications and emerging voices that often surface stories before mainstream media.

• Google Search Integration: Real-time monitoring of trending searches and emerging topics.

• Reddit: Community-driven discussions that can surface grassroots stories and provide early warning signals.

• Wikipedia: Used to reconcile conflicting information and to ground analysis in wikipedia knowledge to help improve its output.

When you ask Preppr Intelligence a question, AskNews returns information that's already processed and optimized for AI analysis. This includes entity extraction, source verification, and quality control—eliminating the need to manage raw news feeds or build complex data processing systems. The result is up-to-the-minute intelligence from a global network of sources, processed and delivered in seconds to help emergency management professionals stay ahead of emerging threats.
