Abstract
Systems and methods include communicating emergency information relative to a structure and an individual associated with the structure. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a beacon that transmits emergency information to a communications device associated with the individual. The emergency information includes emergency status information that updates the individual as to a status of an emergency that the structure is enduring and/or emergency action information that provides recommended actions for the individual to execute to avoid harm caused by the emergency. A controller updates the emergency information that is transmitted by the beacon based on changes in the status information due to changes in the status of the emergency that the structure is enduring and/or changes in the emergency action information due to changes in the recommended actions that the individual is to execute based on changes in the status information of the emergency.
