DISASTER ALERT DISPLAY (DAD) EMERGENCY AND NATURAL DISASTER WARNING SYSTEM THAT AUTOMATICALLY DETECTS IF PEOPLE ARE CAUGHT IN AN EMERGENCY OR DISASTER, DETERMINES IF THEY ARE OK, AND NOTIFIES THEIR EMERGENCY CONTACTS
One embodiment of an emergency alert system consisting of a data collector (102) that collects data from one or more data sources, a website (103) that collects information from customers, a central database (114) that stores all the information in the system, an alert engine (115) that figures out what alerts need to be sent and transmits those alerts to the correct devices, and mechanisms that allow users to receive alerts (116, 117 119, and 120). The website component (103) of the emergency alert system allows customers to create accounts, register devices such as mobile phones and computers, register email addresses, and register a list of emergency contacts. The data collector component (102) of the alert system receives and saves alerts from one or more data sources and the alert engine (115) transmits those alerts to customers. In advanced alert devices capable of knowing their current position (116 and 117), alerts are transmitted on those devices if the devices are near or in the area of effect of the alert. If the device detects that it is within the area of effect of the alert, it asks the customer if he/she is OK and transmits that response to the emergency alert system along with the current position of the device. Alerts are also sent to the customer's emergency contacts notifying them that the customer has been affected by an emergency and relaying that customer's current status and position. Other embodiments are described and shown.
