TECHNICAL FIELD
The present subject matter is related, to emergency warning systems and methods in general and more particularly, but not exclusively to system and method that automatically warn of variety of types of emergencies in their immediate vicinity and address the same.
BACKGROUND
Personal safety is a problem of increasing concern in our society. Individuals face danger and emergency situations due to violent weather conditions, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, tsunami, hurricanes and other natural disasters. All these situations give rise to the need for improved personal warning and emergency safety systems not only to alert citizens as they move about but also to provide the capability for individuals to call for emergency assistance when they are in potentially dangerous situations, so that they may avoid or avert dangerous situations.
Public Beaches are visited by people or citizens for fun, refreshment and for many more various activities. Every citizen wishes to get into the water and have some fun and swim with friends & families. But there are danger zone areas where getting in to the water is dangerous and though there are warning signboards, citizen ignores and move in. There is no automatic warning system at these places. Conventional technologies at beaches are implemented with only cameras but there is no centralized control and help provided. There is no means of communication to alert Life guard or police to provide the instant help for the citizens nor in case of heavy tides there is no alert/warning system present to warn the citizen in the beach. Therefore, there exists a need for a method and a system to automatically warn of variety of types of emergencies in their immediate vicinity and address the same.

The EMS (104) also receives the alert message (208) comprising the health status information (212) associated with the at least one SAD (102) for enabling the EMS (104) to monitor the health of the at least one SAD (102). In one embodiment, the fail detection and notification module (FDNM) (118) receives the health status information (212) from the processor (108) of at least one SAD (102) for a predetermined regular interval. In one example, the FDNM (118) receives the health status information (212) for every 10 seconds from the at least one SAD (102). If the FDNM (118) determines that the health

status information (118) is not received within the pre-set time due to failure of one or more components of the SAD (102), then the FDNM (118) generates and displays the alert on the display screen of the agent interface (105) indicating the failure and assigns at least one action item to ground field staff for further troubleshooting on field. The FDNM (118) also determines a fail detection (FD) score based on the received health status information (212) and generates alert if the FD score is determined to be less than expected FD score. The processor (108) also generates and transmits an alert failure to the FDNM (118) based on the connectivity and health status indications provided by the LED indicators.
The EMS (104) also receives the alert message (208) comprising the wave analytics data (214) and generates wave analytics. In one embodiment, the wave analytics module (222) receives the wave analytics data (214) comprising wave and tide information, water and shore lines and beach states. The wave analytics data (214) may be real time video images of the ocean, waves and shore lines, people on the beaches, captured by the IP camera (310) of the at least one SAD (102) and transmitted to the EMS (104) via the network (103). The wave analytics module (222) is configured to determine level of confidence of the wave analytics data (214) based on determination of the trust score (216). In one implementation, the trust score (216) is determined based on changes identified in one or more areas in the ocean environment and at least one hazard associated with the changes. The wave analytics module (222) determines the changes in one or more areas in the ocean environment and at least one hazard associated with the changes and compares the changes and at least one hazard with a historic pattern of changes and at least one hazard recorded in the past. Based on the comparison, the trust score (216) is determined and level of confidence can be measured using the trust score (216) thus determined.
If the wave analytics module (222) predicts occurrence of a natural disaster based on the trust score (216), then the wave analytics module (222) generates and broadcasts an evacuation signal to the at least one SAD (102) via the PA speaker (304). Thus, the disclosed system enables monitoring of beaches, proactively identify dangerous conditions, helps first responders, identify hazards and manage risk on remote and public beaches.
