Recent severe weather and flooding have seen a huge number of 'states of emergency' declared across the country. In fact, there has already been more states of emergency declared in 2026 than all of last year, and we're only in February. So, what's behind this rise and how does the whole process work? John Price, Director of Civil Defence Emergency Management spoke to Jesse.

The mercy of Jesus is beyond our understanding. But Jesus Himself tells the world through St. Faustina that the day will in fact come when He will show us that He is the Divine Judge. Dave and Joan Maroney from Divine Mercy for America explain why these days are especially important for us to recognize the importance of the message of Divine Mercy and why we MUST respond to the urgent call from God. -------------------------------- Be part of the 54 Day Rosary Novena for Mercy HERE: https://mercysundaymomentum.org/ -------------------------------- More details about Divine Mercy HERE: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/momm https://divinemercyforamerica.org/ -------------------------------- Sign up for the Preparedness Summit HERE: https://brcoalition.com/summit/ -------------------------------- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKZ9OefEJLEx1qYcBxgAFww/join -------------------------------- PATREON - Help support this podcast by becoming a US Grace Force PATRON here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=25398590 -------------------------------- Check out ROMAN CATHOLIC GEAR and get amazing Catholic gear for the battle of your life!

Best States for Survival Best States for Survival (And Why It's Complicated) | Episode 584 Every few months, someone puts out a list claiming they've found the “best states for survival.” Perfect land. Perfect climate. Perfect collapse conditions. This episode starts with one of those videos and then does what those lists never do — slow down and actually think through the tradeoffs. Because there is no perfect state. There are only compromises you can live with. The Problem With “Top 9” Survival State Lists I watched a video recently that ranked nine states that would supposedly do best in a collapse scenario. The creator put in serious work — hundreds of hours of research — and a lot of it made sense. Tennessee was on the list, and I was pretty happy with where it landed. But every time I watch lists like this, I catch myself doing what most people do: looking to see if my state made the cut. That alone tells you something important. These lists hit emotionally, not practically. Even the states that rank high still have real drawbacks. And the ones that rank low often have strengths that don't show up on paper. Population Density Is a Double-Edged Sword Population density matters — a lot — but not in the simple way people think. Low population density sounds great until you realize it also means fewer services, fewer jobs, and fewer amenities. If you move somewhere extremely remote, you're trading convenience and infrastructure for isolation. On the flip side, dense cities are terrible for survival. Too many people, too much dependence, and too much competition for resources. Cities are where things unravel first when systems fail. The sweet spot is balance. Enough people to support infrastructure and community, but not so many that you're surrounded by desperation. Isolation Is Romantic — Until It Isn't A lot of people fantasize about total isolation. Alaska wilderness. Middle of nowhere. No neighbors. That sounds cool until you're honest with yourself. Most humans are not built to be true isolationists. If you were, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast — you'd already be off-grid somewhere, alone, doing your thing. Almost nobody actually wants zero people. Add a family into the equation and it matters even more. You don't get to unilaterally decide to drag everyone into extreme isolation because you're bored or having a midlife crisis. Survival planning has to account for the people you're responsible for, not just your personal fantasy. Climate: Middle Ground Wins Climate is another area where extremes hurt you. Super cold areas bring long winters, heavy snow, and logistics problems. Super hot areas make you dependent on water and cooling. Living without air conditioning in extreme heat is brutal, especially in modern homes that weren't designed for passive cooling. A temperate, middle-of-the-road climate tends to be easier to manage. Mild winters. Warm but not oppressive summers. Less strain on heating and cooling systems. This is one of the reasons Tennessee sits in a comfortable middle. We get winter, but not months of it. We get summer, but not desert-level heat. That balance matters. Tradition and Community Matter More Than Rankings One of the most overlooked factors is local culture and tradition. Areas with a history of self-reliance — gardening, canning, fixing things, helping neighbors — have a massive advantage when systems fail. But here's the catch: if you move into those areas as an outsider, you may never fully belong. Some communities take generations to accept newcomers. That doesn't make them bad — it just means you need to be realistic. If you already live in a place like that, you're ahead. If you're planning to move, understand that community can't be bought or rushed. Natural Disasters and Real Risk Assessment You also need to honestly assess natural disaster risks. Tornadoes. Hurricanes. Flooding. Wildfires. Earthquakes. Some states deal with several of these at once. Others have fewer, but none have zero — despite what some lists claim. Tennessee scores well overall, but it does sit near a major fault line and experiences minor earthquakes regularly. That's something people forget. Every location has risks. The key is understanding which risks you're accepting and preparing for them specifically. Other Factors People Ignore A few more things matter more than most lists admit: Firearm laws: Guns are tools. A state hostile to ownership is limiting one of your survival options. Nuclear risk: Proximity to major targets and prevailing winds matter. So does distance from nuclear reactors. Income reality: None of this works if you can't make a living where you move. You can't survive on ideology alone. You still need money, skills, and systems. Closing The best state for survival isn't the one that wins a YouTube ranking. It's the one where your climate, population density, income, community, and risk profile line up with your actual life. Tennessee works for me — not because it's perfect, but because it's balanced. Assess where you live. Be honest about your limits. And stop chasing fantasy maps. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

02/04/2026 – Jeff Zweerink –on how to think about natural disasters as a Christian

Brittany Christenson proves that it's not always critical to work at a nonprofit to positively impact your community and beyond. Brittany is the CEO of AidKit, a Public Benefits Corporation, that helps government agencies and nonprofits administer aid programs throughout the United States. She considers her role as chief executive as holding the compass...helping her team row in the same direction to reach their organizational goals, and ultimately transforming aid delivery into an empowering act of community care.Her unique ability to combine storytelling skills with her deep love for math and data allow her to lead and demonstrate both necessity and efficacy in a powerful way. As CEO, she sets the company's strategic direction, drives technology innovation, and cultivates partnerships. Her and her coworkers help people by streamlining what could be a really difficult, time-intensive process to get assistance for everything from putting food on the table or buying a special birthday cake to getting disaster relief funds.Since its founding in 2021, AidKit has helped over 200 agencies and nonprofits process over 500,000 applications and distribute more than $350 million in disaster relief, publicPrior to working here, she worked at a regional nonprofit focused on food security and community development and played a key role in launching one of the first pilots for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's (SNAP) online payments. She also managed a 90-acre organic vegetable farm, overseeing logistics and operations while deepening her commitment to food justice. Her undergraduate degree is in applied mathematics, and she has a graduate degree in epigenetics.Contact Info:Brittany Christenson - GuestBrittany Christenson (LinkedIn)AidKit's websiteJulie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Julie Berman (LinkedIn)Chapters00:00 Introduction to AidKit and BrittSend Julie a text!!Hey, thanks so much for listening to the podcast.

This morning we spoke to our reporter at Mount Maunganui for an update on the recovery mission. There's confusion over changes to rules for people travelling to the UK. We were joined by the British High Commissioner to answer some of your questions. As kids go back to school, we look at the cost of school uniforms. Plus, 2026 is looking good for Turners, is it all because of Tina? Its CEO joined us. And, we spoke to Flat White Frank, the British man who is travelling the world to find the best flat white. He's currently in New Zealand and joined us live.

Crises don't just knock out power—they unravel the safeguards that keep predators at bay. We dig into how traffickers exploit natural disasters, pandemics, and even major events by stepping into system failures with promises of food, shelter, and work that morph into coercion and control. From labor trafficking in post-hurricane rebuilds to targeted online recruitment of displaced single mothers, we connect the dots between vulnerability, policy loopholes, and criminal opportunity.Our guest, Benjamin Greer, a trafficking subject-matter expert who trains law enforcement and advises a state threat assessment center, breaks down real-world case studies and the modalities behind them: forced labor disguised as reconstruction, illicit adoption pipelines after the Haiti earthquake, and the way suspended wage protections can trigger a “gold rush” of poorly monitored contracts. We talk frankly about data gaps around big sporting events, why preparedness still matters, and how to turn these high-attention moments into training, service mapping, and smarter plans.We also shift to a public health lens. Pandemic closures revealed new disruption tools—like utility shutoffs and health code enforcement—that pushed illicit businesses out of the shadows. Then we widen the circle: code enforcement, utility workers, delivery drivers, rideshare drivers, shelter intake teams, and building inspectors can all be first identifiers with the right signals and anonymous reporting paths. In court, we unpack why expert witnesses on trauma and coercive control help juries make sense of texts, timelines, and victim behavior that seem contradictory but align with science.Finally, we go after the motive: money. Stronger fines, meaningful restitution, and modern asset forfeiture that targets the instrumentalities of coercion—homes, vehicles, farms, business premises—can make exploitation a losing proposition. Pair that with multidisciplinary task forces, shared intel platforms, and survivor-centered services, and communities can close the space traffickers rely on.

We're starting our first show of 2026 looking at the tragic events at Mt Maunganui. While lots of locals are still in a state of shock and sadness over the deadly landslide, for some that's turned to anger. A few officials have described the event as "unprecedented", but others are saying we should've seen it coming. Bryce Edwards, director of The Democracy Project, joins Jesse to discuss.

The search for six people unaccounted for after a landslide hit a campground at the base of Mount Maunganui has been put on hold due to the risk of further slips. Nick James reports.

It seems that every day we are seeing more examples of the drawn battle lines in our society and in our world. The spirit of chaos inspired from the pit of hell is real and very present. We are told that these battles belong to the Lord and that we were made for times such as these. Dr. Dan Schneider joins us to discuss this spirit of chaos, the spirit of the antichrist and how this applies to the battles we see unfolding daily. ------------------------------- Find out more about the Rosary Coalition HERE: https://rosarycoalition.com/usgf ------------------------------- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKZ9OefEJLEx1qYcBxgAFww/join -------------------------------- PATREON - Help support this podcast by becoming a US Grace Force PATRON here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=25398590 -------------------------------- Check out ROMAN CATHOLIC GEAR and get amazing Catholic gear for the battle of your life!

In the midst of the one-year anniversary of LA's devastating, off-season wildfires, we're reminded that to live in a time of drastic climate change is to prepare for the improbable. From bigger tornadoes and more severe floods to prolonged droughts and deadly heatwaves, no region is immune to the increasing intensity of natural disasters driven by climate change. The rest of the world is coming face-to-face with the brutal reality that people in the Global South have faced for years — when it comes to climate disasters, it's not a matter of if they'll hit you, but when. But there are things we can do at home and in our communities to adapt before, during, and after disasters. On this episode, we hear from community members around the world about the climate disasters they've experienced and how their communities are adapting. We're speaking with meteorologist Chase Chain about how discussing the weather means discussing climate change. And, we're talking about how to make ourselves and our communities less vulnerable to the effects of climate disasters.

We're now more than a year removed from North Carolina's worst natural disaster in history. On this episode, we are joined by Will Heegaard from Footprint Project and Sara Nichols from Land of Sky Regional Council. As the state continues to recover, we talk about the role that microgrids have played in bringing power to vulnerable populations, and the continued investments necessary to help the region fully recover. We also highlight the state's $5 million investment in permanent and mobile microgrid solutions for western and eastern North Carolina. Make sure to give this episode a listen to hear more about the life-saving impacts of technologies like solar and battery storage.

Natural disasters and weather-related events continue to dominate headlines, with their frequency and severity increasing year over year. The Edge of Risk Podcast by IRMI welcomes Angela Skow, vice president and head of Large and Complex Construction at CNA, to discuss how the construction industry strengthens communities after natural disasters. In this 16-and-a-half-minute episode, Ms. Skow identifies short- and long-term challenges the construction industry faces with weather-related events, such as labor and environmental considerations, and highlights the importance of integrating climate-adaptive materials with efficient designs to reduce future risk exposures. Listen in and learn more as she stresses the importance of utilizing the latest technology measures, including drones and climate-resilient building materials, to further maintain insurability for construction risks.

Earth's history has seen some truly bizarre natural disasters. Take the Tunguska event in 1908, for example, where a massive explosion flattened 800 square miles of Siberian forest, likely caused by a meteor airburst.
