Aspects discussed herein relate to communicating with a community of people determined by a geofencing system to be physically in or near a location such as a building or property, wherein the system overrides any alert-inhibiting state in the people's mobile devices (or any other device) to deliver audio or visual alerts in emergency situations. As may be appreciated, the present communication and emergency alert system may be used by many different groups of administrators to communicate with many different communities of people. Moreover, certain individuals may be members of more than one community at the same time, and the communities themselves may change over time based both on the user's preferences and on their physical locations. The location of an individual may be determined based on location data provided by their mobile device and refined using known landmarks, such as beacons and/or access points, located in the location.
