You could write an automation that logs these events to the logbook (using the logbook.log service: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/logbook#custom-entries).

An (untested) example might look like:

automation:
  - alias: "Log SimpliSafe events and notifications"
    trigger:
      - platform: event
        event_type: SIMPLISAFE_EVENT
      - platform: event
        event_type: SIMPLISAFE_NOTIFICATION
    action:
      service: logbook.log
      data:
        name: SimpliSafe
        message: >
          {% if trigger.event.event_type == "SIMPLISAFE_EVENT" %}
            {% set message = trigger.event.data.last_event_info %}
          {% elif trigger.event.event_type == "SIMPLISAFE_NOTIFICATION" %}
            {% set message = trigger.event.data.message %}
          {% endif %}

          📥 SimpliSafe Message: {{ message }}

You can use any of the data fields shown in https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/simplisafe#events.
