1. A system for event alert, comprising:
- a plurality of event modules configured to detect an event and configured to generate at least one event signal associated with the event; and
a command center configured to receive the at least one event signal and configured to generate an intelligent response signal associated with the event, wherein the intelligent response signal includes a response instruction associated with the event and related data associated with the event, wherein the command center is also configured to communicate the intelligent response signal to at least one of a national first responder, a regional first responder, or a local first responder selected from among a plurality of local responders, each one of the plurality of local responders associated with a different respective location at which the event may have been detected, and wherein the response instruction comprises an instruction indicative of how one or more people should respond or how one or more people should not respond in order to mitigate harm that could be caused by 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.
