Abstract
A location-based safety alert system can gather data describing potential health- and safety-related issues at various geographic locations (e.g., crime statistics, disease spread rates, weather reports, and travel advisories). The location-based safety alert system can develop models that characterize how dangerous a location is based on the data describing it. The location-based safety alert system can apply the model, as circumstances at a location change, to compute danger scores that reflect how dangerous the location is at that time. Using the danger scores, the location-based safety alert system can alert users of dangers present in areas of interest to them (e.g., where they will be traveling to soon, where they have family members living, or where they are presently located). The alerts can notify users of the risk present at a geographic location as well as advise them of services and resources available to mitigate the risk.
