Abstract:
A system adapted to provide alert signals to individuals or institutions and/or control signals to utilities control units to automatically stop the flow of gas, water, electricity, oil, etc., such signals being delivered in response to the detection of seismic events, the detection occurring via ground-based monitoring systems and/or satellite-based monitoring systems. The alert and/or control signals are distributed through various broadcasting systems or similar channels of communication, such as radio frequency transmitters, Internet service providers, cell phone wireless carriers, satellite phone service providers and/or security monitoring service providers, to individuals and/or facilities through smartphones, landline telephones, tablets, PC's, voice-controlled web communication devices or the like and/or to signal receivers on utilities control units. The system utilizes utilities control units having a signal receiving device adapted to receive the alert and utilities control signals from the broadcasting systems, and a central processing unit module in communication with the signal receiving device and one or more utilities control mechanisms.

Claim (Index 17):
A seismic event responsive alert and utilities control system comprising:\n a ground-based physical seismic event monitoring system adapted to detect physical seismic effects produced by a seismic event; a satellite-based atmospheric seismic event monitoring system adapted to detect atmospheric seismic effects produced by a seismic event; a data analysis processor system adapted to interpret information received from either or both of said ground-based physical seismic event monitoring system and said satellite-based atmospheric seismic event monitoring system, determine the likelihood of potential surface damage resulting from said seismic event, determine the likely region to be adversely affected by the seismic event, and initiate an immediate alert protocol whereby alert and utilities control signals are distributed to one or more broadcasting systems; one or more broadcasting systems adapted to deliver said alert and utilities control signals to signal receivers; signal receivers to receive said alert and utilities control signals, said signal receivers comprising utilities control units adapted to control utilities control mechanisms; and utilities control mechanisms adapted to stop the flow of utilities; whereby upon detection of a seismic effect created by a seismic event by at least one of said ground-based physical seismic event monitoring system and said satellite-based atmospheric seismic event monitoring system, alert and utilities control signals are initiated and delivered through said one or more broadcasting systems to said signal; wherein said utilities control units each comprise a signal receiving device adapted to receive said alert and utilities control signals from said one or more broadcasting systems, and a central processing unit module in communication with said signal receiving device and said utilities control mechanisms; such that upon receipt of said alert and utilities control signals said signal receiving device communicates said alert and utilities control signal to said central processing unit module, and said central processing unit module initiates an actuation signal to said one or more utilities control mechanisms, thereby stopping the flow of utilities.
