## Abstract

Using wireless features, a public service agency is enabled to provide alert information to first responders. An automatic call back from the first responder triggers a voice call launching a location fix on the current location of the first responder. Preferably delivery confirmation that the responder has received the message is received. Once the location fix has been completed, then driving directions with map images are sent to the first responder based on their current location and desired destination for response.

## Claims

an alerts engine to trigger an alert message to at least one first responder;
a remote agent to communicate said alert message to said first responder via a data message gateway; and
a first responder database to store information for use by said alerts engine relating to provisions of said first responder.
