Abstract
An automated system for pro-active protection of a building from damage due to weather conditions includes multiple sensors establishing a perimeter about the building, a weather alert receiver, a master controller, storage including multiple automated protocols, and multiple actuators. The master controller will, when a weather alert is received indicating a particular weather condition will be occurring within an area encompassing the perimeter, without any human intervention: automatically execute a specific protocol to thereby cause at least some of the multiple actuators to change at least one protective device from a non-protective to a protective position until a signal is received that the weather alert is no longer in effect, or that the particular weather condition is no longer a potential danger to the building, at which time the master controller will automatically signal the actuators to return to the non-protective position.
