Abstract: In some embodiments, methods and systems are provided for managing emergency notifications and incident reports at a commercial facility. A graphical interface enables a worker associated with a facility to input information regarding an ongoing/impending emergency event, e.g., Active Threat, Acts of Violence, Fire/Explosion, Injury, Power Failure, Missing Child, Severe Weather, Robbery, Hazmat, Bomb Threat, Covid-19, Store Closure, Special Events etc. This information is processed via an analytical engine that evaluates the entered information in view of various business rules in order to identify the appropriate workers to notify, and generates and transmits the notifications to the employees determined to be suitable for receiving a notification. In response to the generation of the emergency notification, an incident report engine evaluates the entered emergency, and automatically generates an incident report, which may be later accessed and/or modified by workers having a suitable employee access level.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a novel Virtual Facilities Manager architecture that optimizes home health by combining multiple prediction engines, fed by continuously monitored and processed sensor-based and environmental data (historical as well as current), with an integrated Homecare Network of homeowners and service and other providers. This enables a continuous feedback process in which abnormal conditions (symptoms of an underlying problem, including suboptimal performance) are detected and addressed by issuing contextual alerts with associated actions (related alert-action pairs) in an iterative manner over time. By maintaining a Home Health Record including Scores (e.g., reliability and energy efficiency) representing the systemic state of one or more homes, the present invention detects not only maintenance issues, but also suboptimal performance “problems,” and addresses them with the same iterative troubleshooting approach until such scores return to an acceptable level.

Abstract: Embers created by fires, particularly fires in environments such as grassland, bushland, and forests, can lead to the loss of property and animal and human lives. In addition to the loss of property and lives, fires caused by embers lead to an increase in greenhouse gasses, an increase in the risk associated with an ember attack and/or a fire, and a reduced ability to effectively fight an ember attack and/or a fire. The concept bush/wildfire should be understood to include forest fires, grassland fires, and the like. The present disclosure relates to an ember detector device, a bush/wild fire detection and threat management system, and methods of reducing greenhouse gasses, reducing the risk associated with an ember attack and/or a fire, and enhancing an ability to effectively fight an ember attack and/or a fire.
