## Abstract

Systems and techniques facilitating resource frequency management are provided. An apparatus comprises: a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations comprise: receiving information indicative of an emergency condition in a defined area; and transmitting a command to a network device for the defined area to cause the base station device to send a communication for the emergency condition via a first wireless communication channel with a mobile device of mobile devices associated with a subscriber identity of respective subscriber identities assigned to provide a response to the emergency condition.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving information indicative of an emergency condition in a defined area; and
transmitting a command to a network device for the defined area to cause a base station device to switch communication for the emergency condition to a first wireless communication channel with a mobile device of mobile devices, wherein the mobile device is associated with a subscriber identity of respective subscriber identities and is assigned to provide a response to the emergency condition, and wherein the network device is distinct from the base station device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:
analyzing a repository comprising data identifying the mobile devices associated with the subscriber identities; and
based on a result of the analyzing, determining that the mobile device is a device associated with the subscriber identity of the subscriber identities assigned to provide the response to the emergency condition in the defined area.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the transmitting the command is based on switching from a second wireless communication channel via which the base station device was communicating with the mobile device prior to the receiving the information indicative of the emergency condition in the defined area.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first wireless communication channel is a communication channel designated for emergency response communications.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the information indicative of the emergency condition in the defined area is received by the apparatus as a result of an emergency computer executable application being initiated by the mobile device in the defined area or by a second mobile device of the mobile devices in the defined area.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the transmitting the command comprises transmitting the command to the base station device to enable the mobile devices to communicate with one another via the first wireless communication channel.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise selecting the first wireless communication channel from wireless communication channels allocated for emergency response communication, and wherein the selecting is performed prior to the transmitting.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the information is first information, wherein the emergency condition is a first emergency condition, wherein the defined area is a first defined area, wherein the command is a first command, wherein the base station device is a first base station device, wherein the communication is a first communication, wherein the mobile device of the mobile devices associated with the respective subscriber identities is a first mobile device of first mobile devices associated with respective first subscriber identities, wherein the response is a first response, and wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving second information indicative of a second emergency condition in a second defined area; and
transmitting a second command to a second base station device for the second defined area to cause the second base station device to send a second communication for the second emergency condition via a second defined wireless communication channel with a second mobile device of second mobile devices associated with respective second subscriber identities assigned to provide a second response to the second emergency condition, wherein the first defined area does not overlap with the second defined area, and wherein a first time period of occurrence of the first emergency condition is concurrent with a second time period of occurrence of the second emergency condition.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the command causes the base station device to send the communication with an instruction to provide the response to the emergency condition for a limited duration of time specified by the command.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the command causes the base station device to send the communication with an instruction to provide the response to the emergency condition for a specified application executed via the mobile device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the command further causes the base station device to send the communication for the mobile device via a second wireless communication channel distinct from the first wireless communication channel.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the command further causes the base station device to send re-attachment information to the mobile device enabling the mobile device to re-attach to the base station device to communicate via the first wireless communication channel.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise updating a data store to comprise device identities for the mobile devices and application identities for computer executable applications being executed by the mobile devices.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

### Claim 15

A method, comprising:
receiving, by a device comprising a processor, information indicative of an emergency condition in a defined area; and
transmitting, by the device, a command to a base station device for the defined area to cause the base station device to conduct communication for the emergency condition on a defined wireless communication channel with a mobile device of mobile devices associated with a subscriber of respective subscribers assigned to provide a response to the emergency condition.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, further comprising:
based on a result of analyzing a data store identifying the mobile devices, determining, by the device, that the mobile device is associated with the subscriber of the subscribers assigned to provide the response to the emergency condition in the defined area.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the defined wireless communication channel is a first wireless communication channel, and wherein the transmitting the command is based on switching from a second wireless communication channel via which the base station device was communicating with the mobile device prior to the receiving the information indicative of the emergency condition in the defined area.

### Claim 18

A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of an apparatus, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
executing an emergency response application associated with an emergency condition in a defined area in which the apparatus is located, wherein the apparatus is configured to communicate via different wireless communication channels;
