b) determining an emergency dispatch center (EDC) serving a jurisdiction of the second device based on at least the emergency data from the second device; c) establishing a communication session between the communication device and the EDC, wherein: i) a first data channel is established between the communication device and the EMS; ii) a second data channel is established between the EMS and the EDC; and iii) the first and second data channels are bridged to establish the communication session; and d) providing a data set comprising the emergency data from the second device to the EDC. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the emergency data from the second device comprises location data, health data, user data, sensor data or a combination thereof. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the emergency data from the second device comprises current data, historical data, or a combination thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the emergency data from the second device comprises sensor data from a wearable device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein location data of the second device is queried by the communication device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the second device has user authorization to share the emergency data from the second device, and the emergency data from the second device is shared directly or via an external database or cache. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein transmission of emergency data from the second device to the communication device occurs over a covert communication session. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein updated emergency data from the second device is obtained and used to determine another EDC serving the jurisdiction of the second device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the EMS determines a best estimated location of the second device when a connection with the second device is not established. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the EDC queries for the emergency data from the second device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising obtaining updated emergency data comprising updated sensor data from the second device and sharing the updated emergency data with one or more emergency responders. ### Claim 12 An emergency management system comprising a network component and at least one processor coupled to the network component, the at least one processor operative to: a) detect a request for assistance from a communication device, wherein the request comprises emergency data from a second device authorized to share emergency data with the communication device; b) determine an emergency dispatch center (EDC) serving a jurisdiction of the second device based on at least the emergency data from the second device; c) establish a communication session between the communication device and the EDC, wherein: i) a first data channel is established between the communication device and the EMS; ii) a second data channel is established between the EMS and the EDC; and iii) the first and second data channels are bridged to establish the communication session; and d) provide a data set comprising the emergency data from the second device to the EDC. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the emergency data from the second device comprises location data, health data, user data, sensor data or a combination thereof. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the emergency data from the second device comprises current data, historical data, or a combination thereof. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the emergency data from the second device comprises sensor data from a wearable device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein location data of the second device is queried by the communication device. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the second device has user authorization to share the emergency data from the second device and the emergency data from the second device is shared directly or via an external database or cache. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein transmission of the emergency data from the second device to the communication device occurs over a covert communication session. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein updated emergency data from the second device is obtained and used to determine another EDC serving the jurisdiction of the second device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the EMS determines a best estimated location of the second device when a connection with the second device is not established.
