Abstract
An alert system for indicating the location of an emergency includes a doorbell module with a housing which houses a processor. The doorbell module includes a light emitter which is mounted on the housing and is operably coupled to the processor. A manual actuator is operatively coupled to the processor and is positioned remotely from the doorbell module. The manual actuator is operable to selectively cause the processor to activate the light emitter.
