Solar Flare Alert
It looks like Flare Aware no longer exists… You should visit Suspicious Observers instead.
Solar Flare Awareness. What is it worth?
How much would you pay to be alerted of a possible catastrophic scenario? Earlier this year I signed up for FlareAware’s service. For $12 a year, you can have access to their website, with a Dashboard that provides you with updates and resources. But the most important benefit for me are the text messages to your cellphone that a solar flare has been detected!
Just recently I received a text message and it kind of freaked me out…I’ve read the books. I was able to get on my computer and check the dashboard for more info. The flare was a serious one, but the CME then got downgraded. But what if?
We always think about the BIG ONE. But have you ever thought about other disruptions for people with pacemakers or hikers who are out backpacking with their GPS?
FlareAware is on Twitter and Facebook. They update both of their social media tools. However, it isn’t ever guaranteed that you will be on at the same time they update.
To me, the $12/year is worth it! For more info. Check out their website – FlareAware.
This is an example of the kind of update you would find on your dashboard.
