Research will hopefully be able to give you status green, yellow, or RED. As for your funding issues however, I don't really understand those....sounds like corruption? And corruption happens within both corporations and governments.
I live in a zone where if the hell breaks loose (nearby volcano) I have 4hours to evacuate.
Since this eruption only happens each 100 years or so, there is completely no profit margin for any company to spend money on it. However, being alert is an issue for the COUNTRY.
So, there is a lot of research and evac test-runs going on, since it's tic-toc-soon-time.
I do not regret seeing my tax money going on that....
