A community safety system (CSS) including a notification management entity (NME) comprising servers, the NME communicatively coupled to multiple user devices and one or more administrator devices (collectively, registered user devices). The CSS includes a plurality of registered users, wherein registered users may share their own location, as well as sighting information about the location of a source of an emergency (e.g. a perpetrator) with the NME of the CSS. The NME may generate and provide display objects on a visualization interface of one or more users mobile devices displaying a map, the display objects indicative of user locations and/or emergency source location in the map displayed (e.g., in accordance with the map coordinate system).

A humanitarian camp shelter communication system for a humanitarian camp is disclosed herein. In embodiments, the humanitarian shelter communication system includes a plurality of shelter nodes, a plurality of individual identifiers, a plurality of tag readers, and a communication controller. Each individual identifier has an identifier tag for identifying each of the individual identifiers to the humanitarian camp shelter communication system. The plurality of tag readers detects the identifier tags. An individual identifier and a shelter node are associated with a displaced person staying at the humanitarian camp. The communication controller can send messages to the plurality of shelter nodes and has a locator operable to determine the location of the individual identifier based on which of the plurality of tag readers detected the identifier tag.

Described herein are systems, devices, methods, and media for connecting a user for providing emergency assistance based on emergency alerts from triggering devices such as voice or sound triggered emergency alerts. In some cases, the location of the emergency is provided.

A method for requesting help during an emergency event using a client device. The client device shows live video of the emergency event and provides a GUI element (e.g., panic button) in the GUI after receiving an input such as a touch gesture or keyboard input from the user. The user may select the button in the GUI to simultaneously request help from emergency services and neighbors. The request for help includes a link to view the live video.

The present invention describes a contactless signaling system for retail and other commercial environments whereby customers or workers can submit requests for assistance without the need to physically touch any button or other input device. A contactless call button unit comprises a proximity sensor operatively communicating with transmission means for sending a signal to at least one of a hub appliance and an employee communication receiver. The proximity sensor is triggered without requiring the user to physically contact the call button unit. Instead, when a portion of the user's body, such as the user's hand or finger, is within a predefined distance from the call button unit for a predefined period of time, a signal will be transmitted with a call request message.

The invention relates to a control unit for a hazard alert center, for example a break-in, fire alarm and/or fire extinguisher control center, to a hazard alert system, preferably a fire alarm system, and to a method for operating a hazard alert center, for example a break-in, fire alarm and/or fire extinguisher control center. In particular, the invention relates to a control unit for a hazard alert center, for example a break-in, fire alarm and/or fire extinguisher control center, the control unit being designed to receive, from a hazard detector for detecting a hazardous situation, a first signal characterizing the hazardous situation, and the control unit comprising a user interface having a display means, which is designed to show a standard display and/or an alert display, in the case of which an oldest alert and a latest alert are displayed and additional alerts between the oldest alert and the latest alert can be displayed, preferably scrollably, and a first event display, which shows a first event in a main portion.
