AlertsUSA and Stratfor Form Partnership

(MIAMI, FL, AUSTIN, TX) — AlertsUSA, Inc. ( http://www.AlertsUSA.com ) has entered into a partnership agreement with Strategic Forecasting, Inc. ( http://www.Stratfor.com ) to enhance AlertsUSA’s service with in-depth geopolitical, terrorism and security analysis and actionable intelligence.

AlertsUSA, which offers one of the leading terrorism alert and event notification services in the United States — and is the only such system incorporating the use of both text messaging and streaming audio — will now begin to incorporate selected weekly Stratfor intelligence reports in its content. Through this agreement, AlertsUSA customers will also have access to Stratfor services at reduced rates.

The partnership is clearly a natural fit. While the AlertsUSA service is a powerful tool used by many first responders and security professionals to keep informed of new terrorism threats and events, in-depth analysis of these events was outside of the firm’s core competencies. Conversely, Stratfor has revolutionized the way businesses and individuals gain access to unbiased global intelligence and analysis. Stratfor’s expertise in predictive analysis and forecasting of geopolitical, public policy and security issues is highly respected and relied upon by government and industry alike.

"We are quite pleased to be able to provide this enhancement to the service delivered to our customers,” says AlertsUSA President Steven Aukstakalnis. “Given the consistent quality and accuracy of Stratfor's analysis in the area of terrorism and related national security threats, our customers gain a more comprehensive understanding of events and trends, allowing them to more effectively assess and manage their risk."

George Friedman, CEO and founder of Stratfor, echoes Aukstakalnis’ enthusiasm. “Stratfor is pleased to support AlertsUSA in their effort to augment their service content. AlertsUSA’s unique ability to use state-of-the-art technology to deliver timely, critical situation reports to their subscribers, combined with Stratfor’s ability to look beyond those events and explain the why and what next, will increase the value customers derive from this indispensable tool. We look forward to working with the AlertsUSA team to further develop this new partnership.”
