Crisis alerts for preppers

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

PrepAlert watches the news for the things that actually matter when something goes wrong - and helps you act on them. It reads public feeds from BBC, Reuters, Al Jazeera, Euronews, UN News, ReliefWeb, GDACS and USGS, rates every story by severity, and alerts you about the topics you care about. FOUR TABS, NOTHING HIDDEN • Now - a short daily briefing, a digest of what you missed, and one filter row for all news, topics you follow, trending, near you, defence and saved items • Map - recent events plotted by location • Preparedness - your preparedness score, supply checklists and emergency instructions in one place • Settings - alerts, categories, quiet hours, language WHAT IT DOES • Scans for water, food, energy, health, cyber, weather, conflict and natural-disaster events • Rates every article: low, moderate, high or critical • Notifies you on your device when something critical appears • Shows the emergency number for the country you are in • Available in English and Dutch WORKS WITH PREPPERAPP PrepAlert can hand recommended preparation actions straight to the PrepperApp companion app, so an alert turns into a concrete to-do list. Available with Pro. PREPALERT PRO - one-time purchase, no subscription • Alerts for every crisis, not only critical ones • Background monitoring and quiet hours • Automatic hand-off to PrepperApp, plus a Send to PrepperApp button • Supply checklist with 26+ items • Watchlist with priority alerts • Weekly digest • Full notification history • Data export for supplies and bookmarks • Per-category notification filters PRIVACY No account, no ads, no third-party trackers. Your watchlist, supply lists, emergency contacts and saved articles stay on your device. The only thing the app sends out is an anonymous, one-off count of installations. The full policy is linked in Settings. IMPORTANT PrepAlert is a news reader with an alerting function. It is not an official warning system and no replacement for government alerts such as NL-Alert, sirens or Cell Broadcast. Severity ratings are automated estimates and can be wrong. In an emergency, always call your local emergency number and follow official instructions.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

A calmer, clearer PrepAlert. NEW NAVIGATION The app now has four tabs instead of a long list: Now, Map, Preparedness and Settings. Everything is where you expect it. NEW "NOW" SCREEN • A short daily briefing that tells you, in one sentence, how the situation stands • A digest of what happened while you were away • One filter row to switch between all news, topics you follow, trending, near you, defence and saved items PREPAREDNESS IN ONE PLACE Your preparedness score, supply lists and emergency instructions are now together on a single tab. ACCESSIBILITY Better support for large text sizes and VoiceOver throughout the app. PREPPERAPP More reliable sharing of preparedness actions with PrepperApp. PRIVACY Even less data leaves your device. Plus a long list of smaller fixes: more accurate severity ratings, a briefing that always matches the tension index, and fewer duplicate notifications.
