• creating a forum security message within a security forum, the security forum comprising a processor communicatively coupled to a memory and a network interface, the network interface communicatively coupled to the network;
• identifying a subset of a plurality of mobile devices, wherein each of the plurality of mobile devices is associated with an account of a user having a plurality of zones of interest comprising one or more fixed alert areas and one or more roving alert areas;
• and
• making the forum security message available to the subset of the plurality of mobile devices with the geographic location information that overlaps with geographic location information of the forum security message,
• wherein the plurality of zones of interest of an account of a user associated with one of the plurality of mobile devices comprises at least three zones of interest comprising a fixed home location, a dynamic user position, and a selected zone of interest for a child, a family member, a pet, a place of work, or a school.

A system for facilitating sending and receiving security alerts, the system comprising:

• a processor communicatively coupled to a memory and a network interface, the network interface communicatively coupled to a network;

• receive security messages from a plurality of user mobile devices coupled with the network;
• create a fixed forum security message associated with a geographic location of a first security message received from at least one of the plurality of user mobile devices;
• and
• send the fixed forum security message to all of the plurality of user mobile devices associated with a user that selected a zone of interest comprising a fixed alert area that comprises the geographic location associated with the fixed forum security message;
• and
• a roving location manager communicatively coupled to the network interface and the network and configured to:
• receive security messages from the plurality of user mobile devices coupled with the network;
• create a roving forum security message associated with the geographic location of the first security message;
• and
• send a roving forum security message to all of the plurality of user mobile devices associated with a user that selected a zone of interest comprising a roving alert area that comprises the geographic location associated with the roving forum security message;
• wherein the zone of interest comprising the roving alert area comprises at least two zones of interest including a dynamic user position and a second dynamic position that comprises a position of a family member;
• and
• wherein a plurality of zones of interest of an account of a user associated with one of the plurality of mobile devices comprises at least three zones of interest comprising a fixed home location, a dynamic user position, and a selected zone of interest for a child, a family member, a pet, a place of work, or a school.
