Some updates – nine new articles and reference pages are live on the site. Your support is what made the time to write them possible, and I wanted you to see them first.
Weather has been the focus of the latest push. The Weather Awareness article anchors the new suite, with three companion references built around it: a full NOAA SAME event code list, a current weather radio comparison, and the new WX-CON household weather condition scale. There is also a SWX-CON page covering space weather, which matters more than most people realize for GPS, HF radio, and the grid.

On the intelligence side, the Analytical Standards and Tradecraft page is now public. It is the methodology behind the Daily Threat Report and explains how confidence levels, source ratings, and alternative hypotheses are handled. Worth a read if you want to understand what is under the hood.

Current reporting is tracking consumer-level impacts of the Iranian blockade situation, and
Iranian Blockade Consumer Impacts – this is an extensive report that looks at the 2nd-6th order impacts that the Iranian blockade has. You will not see an in-depth report like this anywhere else. https://fortunefavorstheprepared.com/flash-reports/
You can now see what the Watch Desk dashboard looks like and what is coming with that project. https://fortunefavorstheprepared.com/watch-desk/
Finally, The Constellations Above You walks through handheld GNSS setup and which satellite constellations to enable for redundancy. Useful for anyone carrying a Garmin or similar in the field.

*Product line updates*
I have done substantial work across the product offerings, and nearly every product now has a Patreon discount attached. The Family Emergency Plan Workbook, the Personal Preparedness Assessment Workbook, and the Next of Kin Workbook remain the three I push hardest because they do the most work for the smallest time commitment. If you have not filled one out, this is the kind of thing that matters before you need it, not after. This restructuring of the sales pages took some major work (and Tylenol) – thats what happens when you add things over time, things get out of place, or left behind. This was a long time over due.
I am working on a better format for the sales page, but I ran into some issues and it is not deployed yet. In the meantime, the search bar and the topic bar at the bottom of each page will help you find what you are looking for, and the home page links cover the major product groups.

*Continuity Chronicles*
On the fiction side, Book 3 Unassigned Authority is with the editor now for cover and final formatting. Books 1 and 2, The Meadow Protocol and The Brush, are both available at thecontinuitychronicles.net if you have not picked them up yet. Book 4 is in active development. Don’t forget there are is some additional background on some of the characters and the businesses they run on the website. There are also some leaked documents for the Meadow, including blueprints, and pictures allegedly taken inside the Meadow. You need books codes to access them and you will find them on the landing page.
I’ve been told that there are more leaks coming 😉

*On the air*
I will be a guest on the Angery American’s podcast next week. Watch for the announcement with the air date and the link once the episode drops.
I am also planning to run a giveaway during the episode. Probably a free audiobook or a copy of one of the Continuity Chronicles books, possibly winner’s choice. I have not locked it in yet, so stay tuned for the details.
*Website move*
I mentioned late last week that I plan on moving web hosts. I’m still working on that. I don’t have a date yet but the plan is moving forward. I’m hoping that several issues will be resolved once that happens. For one I will have someone to help me resolve HTML coding issues, and also a site that will permit some scripts to run that the Watch Desk needs to be able to make it available to you directly.
Thank you, genuinely. Every one of these takes hours, and I really appreciate those of you who are Patreon subscribers.
