forwarding the alert from the at least one service provider site to the at least one other mobile device associated with the at least one service provider site.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein at least one of the first mobile device and the second mobile device is the at least one mobile device.

8. The method of claim 1 , comprising sending an alert of the event to the at least one other mobile device comprises sending the alert to the at least one other mobile device based on a period of time the at least one other mobile device is registered with a service provider site.

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:

capturing information about an event, that has occurred above a predetermined threshold, by at least one mobile device, the information comprising location information and event type information;

sending the information from the at least one mobile device to an event alert server;

identifying the event via the event alert server based on the information, the event being identified by associating the event type information with a specific event and associating the location information with a location associated with the specific event;

performing a lookup of at least one other mobile device associated with at least one service provider site;

identifying a location of the at least one other mobile device; and

sending an alert of the event to the at least one other mobile device if the at least one other mobile device is within a predetermined distance of the event based on the location associated with the specific event;

wherein the sending of the alert comprises sending at least one of:

a first alert to a first mobile device of the at least one other mobile device moving towards the event; and

a second alert to a second mobile device of the at least one other mobile device moving away from the event.

10. A system, comprising:

an event alert system configured to:

receive information about an event, that has occurred above a predetermined

threshold, from at least one mobile device, the information comprising location information and event type information;

identify the event based on the information, the event being identified by an association of the event type information with a specific event stored in the repository and an association of the location information with a particular location associated with the specific event;

perform a lookup of at least one other mobile device associated with at least one service provider site;

receive a location of the at least one other mobile device; and

send an alert of the event to the at least one other mobile device if the at least one other mobile device is within a predetermined distance of the event based on the location associated with the specific event;

wherein the alert sent comprises at least one of:

a first alert sent to a first mobile device of the at least one other mobile device moving towards the event; and

a second alert sent to a second mobile device of the at least one other mobile device moving away from the event.

11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising at least one event monitor operable to perform at least one of a following:

sense an occurrence of the event;

determine if the event is above the predetermined threshold; and

notify the event alert system of the occurrence of the event if the event is above the predetermined threshold.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the event alert system is further operable to perform at least one of a following:

send the alert to at least one service provider site; and

cause the at least one service provider site to forward the alert from the at least one service provider site to the at least one other mobile device associated with the at least one service provider site.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein information about the event is received if at least one of the following occurs:

the event is the specific event;

the event occurs at or near the geographical location; and

the at least one mobile device is located at or near the geographical location.
