Abstract:
A method 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.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of controlling the flow of utilities responsive to seismic events, the method comprising the steps of:\n detecting physical seismic effects by a ground-based physical seismic event monitoring system adapted to detect physical seismic effects produced by a seismic event, wherein said physical seismic effects comprise geological, surface and near-surface effects produced by the seismic event; detecting atmospheric seismic effects by a satellite-based atmospheric seismic event monitoring system adapted to detect atmospheric seismic effects produced by a seismic event, wherein said atmospheric seismic effects comprise high atmospheric LAI effects which are not detectable by said ground-based physical seismic event monitoring system; processing information received from either or both of said ground-based physical seismic event monitoring system and said satellite-based atmospheric seismic event monitoring system by 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, determining the likelihood of potential surface damage resulting from said seismic event, determining the likely region to be adversely affected by the seismic event, and initiating an immediate alert protocol whereby alert and utilities control signals are distributed to one or more broadcasting systems; delivering said alert and utilities control signals by one or more broadcasting systems adapted to deliver said alert and utilities control signals to signal receivers, wherein said one or more broadcasting systems comprise one or more of the group of broadcasting systems consisting of Internet service providers, cell phone wireless carriers, satellite phone service providers, commercial or residential monitoring service providers, radio frequency transmitters or stations, and public service warning systems; receiving said alert and utilities control signals by signal receivers adapted to receive said alert and utilities control signals, said signal receivers comprising utilities control units adapted to control utilities control mechanisms adapted to stop the flow of utilities, wherein said utilities control mechanisms stop the flow of one or more utilities chosen from the group of utilities consisting of gas, water, electricity and oil, wherein said signals receivers further comprise one or more of the group of signal receivers consisting of smartphones, tablets, PC's, landline telephones, satellite telephones and voice-controlled web communication devices; and actuating said utilities control mechanisms to stop the flow of said utilities.
