A community emergency request communication system (CERCS) that provides a person in crisis with ability to send an emergency alert. A primary responder(s) and/or secondary responder(s) receive the alert and can provide aid to the person in crisis. The alerts are sent from a communication device such as a smart phone or cell phone through a server. The responder(s) receive the alert on a communication device and replies through the server. Additionally, personal contacts of the person in crisis can also be notified of the emergency. The system collects and stores relevant event feedback, performance and skill ratings of the responders and the persons in crisis in the system, as well as incident information. The system provides an individual and a community with an additional and/or alternative emergency response capability, which may provide faster or more reliable emergency response than other conventional emergency response methods under some circumstances.
