Our Civilization has Transitioned into an Unsafe and Unstable New Normal

Our civilization faces a steady incidence of international conflicts, civil wars, diseases, droughts, flooding, tropical cyclones, tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanic activity, compromising many countries' safety and security.

Destructive forces from greed, tyranny, and the quest for absolute power constantly exploit Earth's natural resources and human beings, causing widespread damage and suffering.

In the present conditions, no part of the world is entirely safe and secure. Consider identifying the potential threats that may affect your local region, engage in monitoring indicators of possible emergencies, and lay out a plan to protect your family and friends.

Monitor your local region for social order entropy (e.g., frequency of looting, violent crimes, etc.), local economy contraction (e.g., unemployment rate, loss of local business), environmental threats (e.g., drought, availability of potable water), disease vulnerability (te.g., availability of health care), weather threats (e.g., frequency of storms, heat waves, heavy rain, flooding, etc.), and distribution chain instability. These factors can threaten the safety and security of any populated region.
