Info on water and food would be the most useful, as well as transportation or emergency/high occupancy building collapses that needed immediate attention.
Additionally, info shared on which areas to stay away from in the incidence of flooding or riots would be… Continue

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
