1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device in a fog layer of a computer network between a cloud network and a local network, vector data relating to a vector in an area from a plurality of vector-identifying sensors distributed across the area associated with the computing device, wherein the vector is an agent that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism;
determining, by the computing device, an amount of vectors within the area based on the vector data;
comparing, by the computing device, the amount of vectors to a threshold associated with the area; and
triggering, by the computing device, a remediation alarm that is sent to local devices connected to the computing device in the local network in response to the amount being greater than the threshold, wherein the remediation alarm warns users of the local devices to take containment measures.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a computing device receives vector data from a plurality of vector-identifying sensors distributed across an area associated with the computing device. The computing device may then determine an amount of vectors within the area based on the vector data, and compares the amount of vectors to a threshold associated with the area. In response to the amount being greater than the threshold, the computing device may then trigger a remediation alarm, accordingly.

14. An apparatus, comprising:
-
one or more network interfaces configured to communicate in a computer network; a processor coupled to the network interfaces and adapted to execute one or more processes; and a memory configured to store a process executable by the processor, the process when executed operable to; receive vector data relating to a vector in an area from a plurality of vector-identifying sensors distributed across the area associated with the computing device, wherein the vector is an agent that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism; determine an amount of vectors within the area based on the vector data; compare the amount of vectors to a threshold associated with the area; and trigger a remediation alarm that is sent to local devices connected to the computing device in the local network in response to the amount being greater than the threshold, wherein the remediation alarm warns users of the local devices to take containment measures, wherein the apparatus is a computing device in a fog layer of the computer network between a cloud network and a local network. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program instructions that cause a computer to execute a process comprising:
-
receiving vector data related to a vector in an area at a fog layer of the computer network between a cloud network and a local network from a plurality of vector-identifying sensors distributed across the area associated with the computing device, wherein the vector is an agent that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism; determining an amount of vectors within the area based on the vector data; comparing the amount of vectors to a threshold associated with the area; and triggering that is sent to local devices connected to the computing device in the local network in response to the amount being greater than the threshold, wherein the remediation alarm warns users of the local devices to take containment measures, wherein the apparatus is a computing device in a fog layer of the computer network between a cloud network and a local network.
