System, method and program product for proactively provisioning emergency computer resources using geospatial relationships

A method of responding to an emergency, said method comprising:

• waiting for the local occurrence of an emergency in one of a plurality of regions in a geographical area, each region receiving computing capability from an emergency response computer monitoring for emergencies and networked with emergency response computers providing computing capability every other region;
• and in response to an emergency in any region, a respective emergency response computer
• analyzing regional emergency patterns to predict said emergency's pattern, the predicted pattern identifying other regions that may be affected by said emergency,
• analyzing emergency response needs to predict resources required for responding to said emergency,
• notifying said emergency response computers for said other regions that the respective region may be affected by said emergency, and
• triggering emergency response services for said other regions.

A computer program product for managing emergency response resources, said computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code stored thereon, said computer readable program code causing a computer executing said code to:

• wait for a local emergency to occur in a region in a geographical area, said geographical area including a plurality of regions;
• analyze regional emergency patterns to predict the pattern for said local emergency, the predicted pattern identifying other regions that may be affected by said local emergency;
• analyze emergency response needs for responding to said local emergency;
• predict resources required for responding to said local emergency;
• notify said emergency response computers for said other regions;
• and
• trigger emergency response services for said other regions.

A computer program product for managing responses to emergencies, said computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code stored thereon, said computer readable program code comprising:

• computer readable program code means for monitoring a region for the occurrence of an emergency, said region being one of a plurality of regions in a geographical area;
• computer readable program code means for predicting others of said plurality of regions that may be affected by said emergency;
• and
• computer readable program code means for notifying emergency response computers for said others that effects of said emergency is predicted to spread to said others.
