identifying, based on the data scrapping, an alert indicating the event is within a proximity of a device location of the first device or the second device;
selecting, based on the subject matter of the event, the first device and the second device to output the alert to the user, wherein the first device and the second device have a capability to output at least a first alert type and a second alert type;
determining a first location of the user is above a threshold distance from a second location of at least one of the first device or the second device; and
