## Abstract

Described herein are systems, devices, methods, and media for providing one or more of interagency networks, interagency network properties, emergency alert transfers, or emergency data sharing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for sharing emergency data by an emergency management system (EMS), the method comprising:
receiving an emergency alert comprising the emergency data, wherein the emergency data comprises a location of an electronic device;
determine the location of the electronic device is within a jurisdictional area associated with a first emergency service provider (ESP);
establishing a geogate between the first ESP and a second ESP, wherein the geogate comprises a digital communication pathway for sharing data between ESPs; and
sharing the emergency data with the second ESP through the digital communication pathway of the geogate between the first ESP and the second ESP.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the geogate is established after a data sharing request from the first ESP is received.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the geogate is established after a data sharing request from the second ESP is received and accepted by the first ESP.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the geogate is specific to an emergency associated with the emergency alert.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the digital communication pathway of the geogate is a general communication pathway not associated with a specific emergency alert, wherein the geogate allows sharing of emergency data regarding one or more emergency alerts.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the geogate is established for a predetermined duration for sharing data between ESPs, wherein the one or more emergency alerts are shared within the predetermined duration.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the geogate is established for no more than 24 hours.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the second ESP is selected based on an emergency type of the emergency alert.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the second ESP has a coverage area that is within the jurisdictional area of the first ESP or overlaps with the jurisdictional area of the first ESP.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the digital communication pathway of the geogate provides unidirectional data sharing from the first ESP to the second ESP.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the digital communication pathway of the geogate provides bidirectional data sharing between the first ESP and the second ESP.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the geogate allows sharing of emergency data in a format based on one or more of preferences of the first ESP, preferences of the second ESP, type of emergency, or compatibility of the second ESP.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a data sharing request from the first ESP or the second ESP, wherein the data sharing request comprises a geogate identifier associated with the first ESP.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, further comprising:
verifying the geogate identifier is associated with the second ESP; and
sharing the emergency data with the second ESP responsive to an affirmative verification.

### Claim 15

A system comprising:
an emergency management system (EMS) comprising a processor and non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
receive an emergency alert comprising the emergency data, wherein the emergency data comprises a location of an electronic device;
determine the location of the electronic device is within a jurisdictional area associated with a first emergency service provider (ESP);
establish a geogate between the first ESP and a second ESP, wherein the geogate comprises a digital communication pathway for sharing data between ESPs; and
share the emergency data with the second ESP through the digital communication pathway of the geogate between the first ESP and the second ESP; and
non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) at a computing device of the second ESP, the GUI configured to:
display the emergency data comprising the location of the electronic device on an interactive map.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The system of claim 15, wherein the GUI at the computing device of the second ESP is configured to display the jurisdictional area of the first ESP.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The system of claim 15, wherein the geogate is established based at least on a rule for delegation from the first ESP to the second ESP.

### Claim 18 (depends on 15)

The system of claim 15, wherein the secondary ESP is selected based on a type of emergency associated with the emergency alert.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The system of claim 18, wherein the processor is operative to establish the geogate for a predetermined duration for data sharing, thereby allowing one or more emergency alerts of the type of emergency to be shared during the predetermined duration.

### Claim 20 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the GUI of the second ESP comprises a chat feature for text-based communication between the first ESP and the second ESP.
