Abstract
An emergency warning system including a sensor for detecting an environmental condition. A first transmitter is connected to the sensor for broadcasting a communication signal carrying information describing the environmental condition. A first receiver receives the communication signal from the first transmitter. A second transmitter is connected to the first receiver for broadcasting an alert signal carrying information describing the environmental condition. A second receiver receives the alert signal from the second transmitter and has an indicator for exhibiting the information indicative of the environmental condition.
