Abstract

This invention pertains to the use of power line communication in a civil defense alerting system. The idea encapsulates the use of existing technology both in power line communication via a power line modem and network data transfer and applies it to an area to which it has never before been applied. Substantial improvement to both is developed through this invention as the prior art had never included or addressed the need for and ability to communicate over the power lines when no electrical power was flowing from the utility. The invention demonstrates that through a communications network it is possible for a system user to activate a single warning alerter device or a multitude of warning alerter devices that are connected to a standard power distribution network. Overall, this invention provides governmental users a more comprehensive and more fail-safe method and process f warning the public of risks, potentially hazardous situations, and safety instructions to minimize the loss of life and injury.
