Abstract
A computer-implemented method and computer-readable medium for alerting emergency personnel. Using a mobile device, a signal is transmitted to a control hub, the control hub in wireless communication with a server. In response, the signal then transmits from the control hub to a designated switch of a light fixture in the user's home, for example, wherein the light fixture is activated into a flashing mode such that a visible, flashing display of light is presentable external to the home of the user to the emergency personnel. Concurrently, the signal from the mobile device then transmits from the control hub to a 911 call center; and, optionally, the signal can be transmitted over the server to a third-party emergency contact.
