1. A method comprising:

  • creating an emergency mapping table that comprises a plurality of mapping entries that map each of a plurality of environmental sensors to one or more of a plurality of electrical source connections, wherein the creating further comprises;

    selecting a first emergency type and evaluating each of the plurality of environmental sensors to identify a first set of the plurality of environmental sensors that correspond to the first emergency type;

    adding a first set of the plurality of mapping entries to the emergency mapping table that maps each of the first set of environmental sensors to a first set of electrical source connections;

    selecting a second emergency type and evaluating each of the plurality of environmental sensors to identify a second set of the plurality of environmental sensors that correspond to the second emergency type; and

    adding a second set of the plurality of mapping entries to the emergency mapping table that maps each of the second set of environmental sensors to a second set of electrical source connections;

    receiving, at an emergency electrical distribution system, an environmental alert invoked by a triggered one of the plurality of environmental sensors;

    analyzing the emergency mapping table and selecting one of the plurality of mapping entries corresponding to the triggered environmental sensor;

    identifying the set of electrical source connections in the selected mapping entry, wherein the identified set of electrical source connections is selected from the group consisting of the first set of electrical source connections and the second set of electrical source connections; and

    automatically terminating electrical power to the identified set of electrical source connections.
