generating by said control system an updated real-time digital map of said selected environment based upon the received reports and to forward said updated real-time digital map to said emergency responder agent subsequent to the triggering of the emergency notification.

13. The method of claim 11 further comprising:

generating, by said control system, real-time updates regarding said selected environment based upon the real-time reports and provide said real-time updates to said emergency responder agent subsequent to the triggering of the emergency notification.

14. The method of claim 10 wherein said selected environment comprises a constructed environment.

15. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

conveying by said control system an authorization to remotely access said data storage repository to said emergency responder agent.

16. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

electronically sending, by said control system, data stored in said data storage repository to said emergency responder agent.

17. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

conveying a machine generated emergency notification to said emergency responder agent; and

providing data for verifying said machine generated emergency notification to said emergency responder.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon for causing a computer system to perform a method of implementing a responder-ready reporting network, said method comprising:
