Civilian Stability Advisory
Recommended Actions:
• Remain indoors during atmospheric disturbances.
• Limit non-essential travel.
• Keep communication devices charged.
• Store potable water (3-day minimum).
• Avoid spreading unverified information.
• Monitor Horizon Sentinel Network for verified updates.
If Infrastructure Failure Escalates:
• Identify nearest public emergency shelter.
• Preserve battery usage by enabling low-power mode.
• Use SMS over voice calls if networks are unstable.
• Stay with family or community groups.
Official Statements
16:02 CST — White House Press Office: “There is no verified extraterrestrial activity.”
16:11 CST — European Commission: “Infrastructure instability is unrelated to orbital events.”
