1. A method for implementing centralized condition alert management services, comprising:
- registering a user of an alert service, the registering including obtaining a commuting route including a street, times of travel on the commuting route and a communications address for a recipient communications device;
receiving information elements from a source that identify a condition, wherein the information elements include condition type, time of condition discovery, time of condition occurrence, location of condition, data that identify the magnitude of the condition, positional and angular data identifying a point of view and distance of the condition with respect to the communications device at the time of capture, an identification of the communications device and a media file capturing a static image of the condition;
aggregating the information elements from the source with information elements from other sources that identify the same condition to define aggregated information elements;
creating a composite file that includes the aggregated information elements, the creating the composite file including extracting outlier information elements of the aggregated information elements from the composite file;
generating a condition alert from the composite file;
determining a condition alert location and condition alert time for the condition alert;
transmitting the condition alert to the recipient communications device when the condition alert location coincides with the commuting route and the condition alert time coincides with the times of travel, the condition alert including an option to view the static image of the condition;
applying rules to the information elements to determine a response action and assigning a priority value to each of the conditions in response to application of the rules; and
notifying emergency response systems when the priority value meets or exceeds a threshold value set by the rules.

Abstract
Methods, systems, devices, and computer program products for implementing condition alert services are provided. A method includes receiving information elements from a source that identify a condition, aggregating the information elements from the source with information elements from other sources that identify the same condition, and creating a composite file that includes the aggregated information elements representing each of the sources. The method also includes generating a condition alert from the composite file and transmitting the condition alert to a recipient communications device.
