Surveillance platforms detect dangers and transmit information signals describing the dangers to a control center, which determines the degree of danger and its geographic extent. The center generates a message that identifies the degree of danger and GPS coordinates of the impacted geographic area for a region. A vulnerability index determined using neural networks and fuzzy logic enables a prioritized message. The center broadcasts the message to remotely located warning devices, which compare the received danger coordinates with their own GPS coordinates and determine the extent to which they are in danger. Warning signals can issue automatically, appropriate to the degree of danger. Emergency manned vehicles may also directly receive the broadcast message and act appropriately relative to the degree of danger.

1. A method of providing an automated, wide area, danger warning and emergency response comprising the acts of: (a) transmitting information signals from a detection location via radio transmission signals to a control center for analysis, (b) analyzing the received information signals in the control center in computer systems employing expert system technology, (c) determining in the control center the existence of danger at the detection location based on analysis of the received information signals, (d) generating in the control center a danger warning, (e) generating in the control center an emergency response including a danger index indicating a degree of danger, (f) broadcasting the danger warning and emergency response from the control center to a plurality of remotely located warning devices each of which has a GPS receiver and the ability to calculate its own location in GPS coordinates, (g) receiving via the broadcast signals the danger warning and emergency response in the remotely located warning devices, and comparing in each remotely located warning device the coordinates of the dangerous situation with its own GPS coordinates for determining the proximity of the remote warning device to the detection location, and (h) automatically issuing from the control center a signal corresponding to the extent to which the remotely located warning device is in danger.
