re-selecting the environmental safety condition for at least one of the one or more devices; and

re-selecting the device behavior for the at least one of the one or more devices, the device behavior comprising a vibration pattern produced by the device that is based on the environmental safety condition.

4. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising generating directions or instructions that direct a user of the one or more devices along a path that avoids dangerous locations within a location that includes the environmental safety condition.

5. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising receiving:

a destination for at least one device of the plurality of devices; and

outputting a warning message to the at least one devices that includes an alternative destination that avoids the environmental safety condition.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising transmitting an alert message to one or more trusted contacts when the one or more devices enters a location that comprises the environmental safety condition, and the environmental safety condition that is indicative of danger.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of devices comprise a user pool and the environmental safety condition is determined by messages gathered from the user pool, wherein the environmental safety condition is a near-real time environmental safety condition.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a device of one or more devices of a plurality of devices includes a button.

9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

determining actuation of the button; and

triggering recording on the device.
