About us
Meet Your Guides
We're a small, independent team who believe warnings only work when people understand them. Our job is to walk beside you, not ahead of you.
The people on the path
Maren Holt
Lead guide · warning levels
Maren grew up on a stormy stretch of coast and spent years volunteering with community resilience groups. She maps our route and keeps each waypoint clear and accurate.
Tobias Reyes
Guide · alert channels and scales
Tobias writes about the technology behind alerts, from the Common Alerting Protocol to weather radio, and loves explaining wind scales with real-world examples.
Amira Osei
Guide · household readiness
Amira focuses on what happens at home: plans, kits, neighbours and the everyday habits that turn a warning into safe action.
How we research
We start with primary sources: published guidance from national weather services such as the Met Office, the National Weather Service, the Hong Kong Observatory and the Japan Meteorological Agency; standards like the Common Alerting Protocol; and preparedness advice from organisations including the Red Cross and Ready.gov. We cross-check facts and dates and revisit pages when systems change.
Our promises to walkers
- We are independent and not affiliated with any weather service, government or broadcaster.
- We never present our guide as a live warning source.
- We correct mistakes promptly — send us a postcard if you spot one.
- We carry no advertising that pretends to be advice.
