Apparatus and Methods for Distributing and Displaying Emergency Communications
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for providing emergency communications to affected populations via digital interfaces, the method comprising:
- receiving event data sent by an emergency detection system;
processing the event data to determine an event perimeter;
selecting one or more interfaces based upon the event data or the determined event perimeter;
authoring one or more emergency communications corresponding to the one or more interfaces; and
sending the one or more emergency communications to the one or more corresponding interfaces;
thereby allowing the one or more interfaces to display the corresponding one or more emergency communications to the affected populations.

Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for event management, allowing authorized users or authorities to distribute and display emergency communications on digital displays. In one aspect, an emergency management communications system receives event data sent by an emergency detections system comprised of a network of sensors. The emergency management communications system processes the event data to determine an event perimeter, and then selects one or more digital displays based upon the event data or the determined event perimeter. Next, the emergency management communications system authors one or more emergency communications corresponding to the one or more digital displays and sends said one or more emergency communications to said one or more digital display, thereby allowing the one or more digital displays to display the corresponding one or more emergency communications to the affected populations.

20. A console implemented method for allowing authorities to manage an event via digital interfaces, the method comprising:
-
monitoring current event data; adjusting a previously determined event perimeter based on the current event data; and sending the adjusted event perimeter to an emergency management communications system;
wherein the emergency management communications system selects one or more interfaces based upon the adjusted event perimeter. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A emergency management communications computing device configured to provide communications to affected populations via digital interfaces, the system comprising:
a processor and a memory configured to; receive event data sent by an emergency detection system; process the event data to determine an event perimeter; select one or more interfaces based upon the event data or the determined event perimeter; author one or more communications corresponding to the one or more interfaces; and send the one or more communications to the one or more corresponding interfaces; thereby allowing the one or more interfaces to display the corresponding one or more communications to the affected populations.

29. A system for providing communications, the system comprising:
-
emergency detection means for detecting event data; emergency management communications means for receiving the event data, the emergency management communications means having processor means for determining an event perimeter based on the event data and authoring one or more communications; and display means based on the event perimeter for displaying the one or more communications.
