1. A system for enabling an electronic warning system, the system comprising:
- a plurality of devices, ones of the plurality of devices including one or more sensors configured to capture information from a distributed geographic area, at least one of the plurality of devices transmitting information captured by the one or more sensors; and
a server configured to receive the captured device information transmitted by the at least one of the plurality of devices, the server including;
a data store for storing the received device information;
a processor for processing the stored data, the processor configured to compile the captured data and determine a region of warning, the processor further configured to identify a plurality of property associated with the determined region of warning and to generate a series of electronic transmissions messages to selected ones of the plurality of devices based on the region of warning, the selected ones of the devices associated with a plurality of policyholders who have indicated a preference to receive the electronic transmission messages, the messages associated with protecting certain real property covered in one or more policy documents associated with the policyholders;
a communication interface configured to transmit the electronic transmission messages to the selected ones of the plurality of devices, wherein upon receipt of transmitted message remedial measures are employed to protect real property; and
the communication interface further configured to receive feedback associated with the remedial measures employed.

8. A server for receiving weather related information and transmitting electronic warning messages, the server comprising:
-
a communications interface for communicating with a plurality of devices, wherein the plurality of devices include one or more sensors to capture data about weather, to receive information about the weather; a processor communicatively coupled with the interface, the processor configured to compile the captured data and determine a region of warning, the processor further configured to identify a plurality of property associated with the determined region of warning and generate at least one message for delivery via the interface to at least one of the plurality of devices associated with the identified property, the messages providing at least a warning of the weather affecting the identified property, wherein upon receipt of the delivered messages remedial measures are employed to protect real property; and the communication interface further configured to receive feedback associated with the remedial measures employed. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
