System and process for notification of contagion risk conditions and mitigation thereof

A method for notification of contagion risk, the method comprising:

• providing a processor and meteorological history repository having meteorological data;
• said processor retrieving meteorological data for a selected region for a selected time window;
• said processor calculating contagion risk based on said meteorological data and from at least one of a transmission risk or a susceptibility risk;
• said processor calculating said transmission risk as a function of dew point change and calculating susceptibility risk as a function of relative humidity;
• and
• generating a contagion risk indicator.

A system for mitigating the spread of contagions in a sealed area, the system comprising:

• a controller having a processor and memory and configured to issue control signals to a humidification unit;
• said controller configured to select a lower humidity bound as a function of contagion infectivity;
• said controller configured to select an upper humidity bound as a function of contagion viability or mold/fungus growth rate;
• said controller receiving humidity data for said sealed area;
• and
• said controller issuing control signals to a humidification unit in response to said received humidity data according to said selected lower humidity bound and said upper humidity bound.
