1. A system for event alert, comprising:
- a plurality of event modules adapted to detect an event and adapted to generate at least one event signal associated with the event; and
a command center adapted to receive the at least one event signal and adapted to generate an intelligent response signal associated with the event, wherein the intelligent response signal includes at least one of a response instruction associated with the event and related data associated with the event.

Abstract
An event alert system and method provide event detection modules that communicate detected events with a central command center. The central command center combines the detected events with related data to provide an intelligent response signal, and communicates the intelligent response signal to event responders. The event alert system also provides an event detection module having event sensors able to detect a variety of types of events.
