Claim 18:
19. A method of providing an alert to a working area, comprising:
providing a mobile alert assembly apparatus at the working area, the mobile alert assembly apparatus comprising:
a housing;
a mast rotatably secured to the housing;
a locking pin configured to engage with the mast;
an alert generating device configured to be temporarily secured to an end of the mast;
at least one remote alert generating device temporarily stored inside the housing; and
a computing system stored inside the housing and communicatively coupled to the alert generating device and the remote alert generating device; the computing system comprising a processor and memory having instructions for providing an alert to a user via at least one of the alert generating device and the remote alert generating device;

upon arrival at the working area, removing the alert generating device from the housing and securing the alert generating device to the end of the mast;
rotating the mast into an operational configuration;
locking the mast into an operational configuration via the retention mechanism;
determining, via the programming of the computing system, a harmful environmental condition;
sending, via the processor, an alert signal to the alert generating device;
activating an alert on the alert generating device in response to the alert signal;
determining a distance between a sensor associated with the harmful environmental condition and the remote alert generating device;
sending a signal to the remote alert generating device if the distance between the sensor and the remote alert generating device is such that there is a potentially hazardous condition associated with the remote alert generating device; and
activating an alert on the remote alert generating device in response to the remote alert generating device receiving the signal.
