The transient electromagnetic sky is quite dynamic. I begin with a discussion of the EM false positives on gravitational wave (GW) localization scales. Next, I discuss how the GW sensitivity limitation to the local Universe can be leveraged to design an effective search strategy for an EM counterpart. I present two ongoing efforts with the Palomar Transient Factory: (i) building a complete catalog of nearby galaxies (ii) completing the inventory of transients in the local universeThis will help us identify, follow-up and unambiguously associate an EM counterpart with the GW signal in a timely manner.
