Automatic emergency warning alert from emergency detection

A system for providing emergency warning, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors,
• wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising the steps of:
• monitoring a plurality of social media communications;
• identifying a first social media communication of the plurality of social media communications;
• evaluating the first social media communication for a first communication emergency level;
• identifying a first location associated with the first social media communication;
• grouping the first social media communication into a location group based, at least in part, on the identified first location and wherein a size of the location group is based, at least in part, on location information used in associating the first social media communication with the first location;
• evaluating a location group emergency level, based, at least in part, on the first communication emergency level of the first social media communication;
• determining the location group emergency level exceeds a threshold value;
• and
• issuing an emergency warning alert in response to determining that the location group emergency level exceeds the threshold value.

• evaluating, by the computer, a location group emergency level, based, at least in part, on the first communication emergency level of the first social media communication;
• determining, by the computer, the location group emergency level exceeds a threshold value;
• and
• issuing, by the computer, an emergency warning alert in response to determining that the location group emergency level exceeds the threshold value.
