ABSTRACT:
A safety/security system that includes a central control station and a plurality of remote stations suitable for installation in residential and business buildings. The central control station receives public emergency warnings, notifications and advisories and transmits alert messages to select remote stations based on geographic or other criteria. Each remote station includes an identifier, a visual display, a user interface, and electronics for receiving the alert message from the central control center, processing the alert message to determine if the remote station is an intended recipient of the message by ascertaining if the alert message includes the remote station identifier and, if the remote station is an intended recipient of the alert message, utilizing the display to display information related to the alert message. The remote station also transmits an acknowledgement message to the central control station when a user of the remote station actuates the user interface to verify receipt of the information displayed on the display related to the alert message.
