System and method for public safety answering point to emergency operations center communications

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory processor readable medium containing a set of instructions thereon that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
• monitor incidents at a public safety answering point (PSAP) to determine how many incidents are emergency operations center (EOC) affecting incidents;
• determine a PSAP status, the status based in part on the EOC affecting incidents;
• send the PSAP status to an EOC, wherein the EOC determines if a response will be initiated, based, in part, on the PSAP status;
• receive an indication from the EOC that the response will be initiated;
• and
• alter a PSAP operations based on the EOC initiating the response.

A method comprising:

• receiving public safety answering point (PSAP) status, via a PSAP interface, from at least one PSAP within a coverage area of an emergency operations center (EOC);
• aggregating the received PSAP status;
• determining based on the aggregated PSAP status, an EOC response;
• initiating an EOC response;
• and
• notifying PSAPs within the coverage area of the EOC that the EOC has initiated the response.
