What are your favorite news sites and disaster resources?
Here are a few
good’uns to get the thread going:
https://www.refdesk.com/
Refdesk.com is a compilation of many news sources from around the world (see the list partway down the homepage, on the right side). There are a gazillion reference sites on there too.
https://www.debka.com/
I will let them speak for themselves. Here is an excerpt from their website:
“
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. DEBKAfile pioneered intensive news coverage and analysis of global terror before it hit the front pages.”

NewsNow is a UK website and
powerful news
scraper.
https://www.reddit.com/
Check out Reddit if you want to go above and beyond organized news
media, and want to find crowdsourced up-to-the-minute news from around the world that
are submitted by real people on the street.

This twitterer features events "at a glance."
https://www.reuters.com/
Most news sites get their news from
Reuters which is a news wire that focuses on breaking news in the USA and internationally.
So many sites, so little time! Here’s a solution:
After you locate the sites you want to monitor for news, throw them into a news aggregator such as Feedly or another similar site, so all you have to do is open that one website or app to see all the news you're interested in.
More about that here: https://www.lifewire.com/best-news-aggregators-4584410 and more about Feedly: https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-feedly-3482778
Another option for news aggregation is to create a Google news alert to receive emails about selected news topics. You get updates in
real-time. Here’s the scoop on that: https://www.lifewire.com/google-alerts-3481816
