Abstract

One example method of operation may include identifying a plurality of emergency reporting entities located at an emergency location based on one or more received emergency communications, determining whether one or more of the emergency reporting entities have provided valid emergency response data, determining a level of severity of the emergency response data, and transmitting one or more notifications to one or more emergency response entities based on the level of severity and a type of emergency.

Claims (45)

1 . A method, comprising:

identifying an emergency location, at least in part based on an emergency communication received from a device;

retrieving enhanced information for the emergency location, wherein the enhanced information includes a density map of mobile devices at the emergency location;

displaying the density map, wherein the density map indicates mobile device telephone numbers at the emergency location;

detecting a type of emergency, at least in part based on the enhanced information;

identifying a sub-sectional area of the emergency location, at least in part based on the enhanced information; and

forwarding a notification to one or more emergency service entities or one or more additional devices, based on the type of the emergency, wherein the notification indicates a door of the sub-sectional area to lock and a predetermined student.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the emergency location at least in part is based on network address information.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the enhanced information includes a layout of the emergency location, an indication of a door, an indication of a passageway, or an intercom feed of the emergency location.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forwarding the enhanced information to the one or more emergency service entities or the one or more additional devices.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the enhanced information includes sensor data received from the emergency location.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more emergency service entities or the one or more additional devices are identified from the sensor data.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the notification is forwarded via an emergency network.

8 . An apparatus, comprising:

a memory that stores a program; and

a processor configured to execute the program to

identify an emergency location, at least in part based on an emergency communication received from a device,

determine enhanced information memory for the emergency location, wherein the enhanced information includes a density map of mobile devices at the emergency location,

display the density map, wherein the density map indicates mobile device telephone numbers at the emergency location,

detect a type of emergency, at least in part based on the enhanced information,

identify a sub-sectional area of the emergency location, at least in part based on the enhanced information, and

forward a notification to one or more emergency service entities or one or more additional devices, based on the type of the emergency, wherein the notification indicates a door of the sub-sectional area to lock and a predetermined student.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to forward the enhanced information to the one or more emergency service entities or the one or more additional devices.

10 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the enhanced information includes sensor data received from the emergency location.

11 . The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising:

a display interface that displays a recent emergency event, a type of the emergency event, or a date of the event.

12 . The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising:

a display interface that displays a social media post.

13 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a level of severity of emergency response data and to initiate an emergency response time window based on the type of emergency and the level of severity.

14 . A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations comprising:

identifying an emergency location, at least in part based on an emergency communication received from a device;

retrieving enhanced information for the emergency location, wherein the enhanced information includes a density map of mobile devices at the emergency location;

displaying the density map, wherein the density map indicates mobile device telephone numbers at the emergency location;

detecting a type of emergency, at least in part based on the enhanced information;

identifying a sub-sectional area of the emergency location, at least in part based on the enhanced information; and

forwarding a notification to one or more emergency service entities or one or more registered devices, based on the type of the emergency, wherein the notification indicates a door of the sub-sectional area to lock and a predetermined student.

15 . The medium of claim 14 , the operations further comprising:

forwarding the enhanced information to the one or more emergency service entities or the one or more additional devices.

16 . The medium of claim 14 , wherein the enhanced information includes sensor data received from the emergency location.

17 . The medium of claim 14 , the operations further comprising:

receiving a data report of a social media post from one or more social media platforms; and

determining a magnitude of a potential emergency has exceeded an emergency event threshold based on the data report.

18 . The medium of claim 14 , the operations further comprising:

determining a level of severity is elevated, at least in part based on a determination that a plurality of emergency monitoring entities have exceeded a density threshold at a predetermined radius from the sub-sectional area.
