Hazard defense system and methods thereof

In a hazard defense system comprising a plurality of defense elements coupled to each other and each located in an area, a method comprising the steps of:

• monitoring at least one of a hazard and a defense factor at the plurality of defense elements;
• detecting a hazard at one or more of the plurality of defense elements;
• sharing information among the plurality of defense elements including the hazard and the at least one defense factor monitored by the plurality of defense elements;
• establishing an exit strategy at each of the plurality of defense elements according the hazard and the at least one defense factor from the plurality of defense elements;
• and
• directing one or more individuals at each of the plurality of defense elements out of the area according to their respective exit strategy.

A hazard defense system, comprising:

• a plurality of defense elements;
• and
• a controller coupled to the plurality of defense elements;
• wherein each of the plurality of defense elements is located in an area, and wherein each of the plurality of defense elements comprises:
• at least one sensor for monitoring at least one of a hazard and a defense factor;
• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor coupled to the at least one sensor and the transceiver;
• and wherein the hazard defense system is programmed to:
• monitor at least one of a hazard and a defense factor at the plurality of defense elements;
• inform the controller of the at least one defense factor from the plurality of defense elements;
• detect a hazard at one or more of the plurality of defense elements;
• inform the controller of the hazard;
• establish an exit strategy at the controller according to the hazard and the at least one defense factor from the plurality of defense elements;
• inform the plurality of defense elements of the exit strategy;
• and
• direct one or more individuals at each of the plurality of defense elements out of the area according to the exit strategy.
