If it can't handle a surge in traffic from HN, it won't be able to handle a surge during natural disasters.

As for targeting specific screen sizes for non-standard font scaling, media queries also would help!
In regards to missing information dense pages, try changing your browser font settings, it might actually be quite pleasant for you to see many sites respecting that preference!
And honestly if this type of thing bothers you as much as it does me, unfortunately it means adding a bunch of stylus sheets everywhere...
Nice though, I like it.
You can still keep them as `h2#foo::before{content: "emoji ";}` CSS pseudo-elements instead, if memory serves.
(Used "emoji" as a placeholder to ensure it renders in the example.)
Great project; (way) more websites should look like this.
Right now, I am seeing a flood of text that I have to carefully read. I don't think emoji's would help, because they can be more subject to interpretation. And the quality of the design varies based on the device's emoji font.
But it is an interesting concept. Maybe add a small note about bookmarking the page?
Webapp is light enough to handle 10000 concurrent hits.
Cloudflare with Cache-Control headers is even simpler if you're okay with adding Cloudflare as a dependency.
From an ASN lookup, it appears you're hosting on Oracle Cloud, so Cloudflare would also give you free data egress: https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/why-cdn-client...
Their Always-On feature would also help if Oracle has an outage.
I like the general idea, very lightweight and more likely to remain accessible when an emergency is overloading the mobile networks.

A similar kind of noise note could probably be made of the "Recent Earthquakes" section. E.g. if you select Indianapolis, IN it includes all the way down to a M2.6 which occurred in NW Tennessee 30 days ago.
It's pulling the travel advisories from US/CA/UK/IE/AU/NZ and aggregating the results/information to help you understand the risks of different countries. It also pulls from other sources for basic country info/risks (eg. women, lgbtq).
Yours is way lighter weight and focused, very cool!
How are these "scams & fraud"?
> Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept credit card payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance overseas. Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information on the type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.
> Gas stations in rural areas can be far apart. Some stations are unattended and require a credit card with a chip to purchase fuel.
Same with https://travelsafetydata.com/country/NO
It lists child protection laws as "scams & fraud"
Room for improvement. Thanks :)
I might be wrong here but it looked like the responses from the server are chunked, which I _think_ precludes the use of a highly optimized cache response e.g. from a CDN. Assuming that's true (very open to correction of course!) I wonder why this would be.
Next I looked at San Francisco, and oddly it listed a bunch of minor earthquakes in San Ramon - none of which are listed in Alameda county, which is actually next to (and parts of which actually felt) those tremors.
FEMA reported the earthquakes to be centred in San Ramon and not in Alameda. Will see how this can be handled.
That said, I really want a backcountry version of this. I live in Tahoe and our relationship to incoming storms (lightning) is pretty different than those in the Rockies. Plus bears and other predators (how to behave). Etc.
I once wanted to do something similar w/r/t tap water and drinkability.
Fun/neat.
Alternatively, what would be a good bigger book for the same goal and/or be more about long term survival in case of being trapped in the house long?
I guess to do it it properly you need to make it PWA.
Ugh. Don't make a website like this without verifying the information is correct please!
112 is also a national emergency number.
They also don't require a phone to be activated in most countries. I believe there are some exceptions in EU countries, but in the US it just needs to have a working antenna and be in range of a tower.
The PWA has the advantage that it will also load when the internet is down and there is no need to save the page manually.
Maybe add Spanish?

Suggest a LLM-based chat that consumes feeds and provides a terrification-score rating letting you know how to calibrate your panic-levels, based on real data. Allow for real-time questions on how to purify water, if it's better to carry gold or ammo etc
Good luck. I'll give you 80 mil based on a 40% stake with voting rights.
Correct? Straight from the text: "a text-first emergency info site for USA and Canada"
