Method of generating a trigger initiating an emergency incident response workflow
A computer-implemented method of generating a trigger initiating an emergency incident response workflow and a device implementing the method is disclosed. Emergency notification data associated with at least one emergency notification reporting a first incident is received. Based on the emergency notification data, a first sensor data originating from one or more sensors is retrieved, the first sensor data associated with a time and location of the first incident. At least one alarm-escalating trigger is generated. The alarm escalating trigger comprises an alarm-escalating condition and a first-type emergency incident response workflow, the alarm-escalating condition being based on at least a portion of the first sensor data. The alarm-escalating trigger, when implemented by an implementing device, triggers the first-type emergency incident response workflow in response to receiving a second sensor data originating from one or more implementing sensors, the second sensor data meeting the alarm-escalating condition.
