Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for providing subscribers an electronic emergency response portal on a network. In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for providing subscribers an electronic emergency response portal on a network having the following steps: receiving real property information from a subscriber module; storing the real property information in a database; creating a secure portal for the subscriber module over a network, the secure portal providing an interface to one or more emergency response parties, wherein the one or more emergency response parties are given access to the interface if a permission setting to the interface is granted by the subscriber module; and providing real property information to the subscriber module and the one or more emergency response parties based on the permission setting.

Claims

1. A method for providing subscribers an electronic emergency response portal on a network comprising the following steps:

receiving real property information from a subscriber module;

storing the real property information in a database;

creating a secure portal for the subscriber module over a network, the secure portal providing an interface to one or more emergency response parties, wherein the one or more emergency response parties are given access to the interface if a permission setting to the interface is granted by the subscriber module; and

providing real property information to the subscriber module and the one or more emergency response parties based on the permission setting.

2. A method of claim 1, wherein the one or more emergency response parties comprise at least one of:

fire-response, police, emergency medical services, security, commissioners, homeland security, government officials, civic authorities, landlords, and real property owners/managers/occupants.

3. A method of claim 1, wherein a notification is sent to the subscriber module upon access of the real property information by the one or more emergency response parties, the notification identifying the particulars of the access.

4. A method of claim 1, wherein the subscriber module is accessed on an electronic device.

5. A method of claim 1, wherein a prompt for the real property information of the subscriber module is sent at a specified interval.

6. A method of claim 5, wherein the database contains a status flag for each subscriber module, the status flag representing the last interval check of a prompt sent.

7. A method of claim 1, wherein a secure code to access the subscriber module'"'"'s real property lock box is provided to the one or more emergency response parties if a subscriber module'"'"'s real property lock box permission setting allows for access to the one or more emergency response parties.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the subscribers may allow for one or more third parties access to the real property information comprising further the following steps:

The generating a security code;

sending the security code to the one or more third parties; and

receiving the request for real property information from the one or more third parties, the request including the verification of the security code.

8. A method of claim wherein control of the of real property information with respect to a defined sub-group of emergency response party personnel is given to a ERP controller, the ERP controller providing specific information of the real property information to the defined sub-group.

10. A system for providing subscribers an electronic emergency response portal on a network comprising:

a server configured to receive real property information from a subscriber module, wherein the server is further configured to create a secure portal for the subscriber module;

a database configured to store the real property information;

a processing engine configured to grant access to the secure portal by one or more emergency response parties if access is allowable by a permission setting of the subscriber module set by the subscriber module; and

an interface to a communication means allowing for communication between the server, the database, the subscriber module, and the processing engine.

11. A system of claim 10, wherein the one or more emergency response parties comprise at least one of:

fire-response, police, emergency medical services, security, commissioners, homeland security, government officials, civic authorities, landlords, and real property owners/managers/occupants.

12. A system of claim 10, wherein the server is further configured to send a notification to the subscriber module upon access of the real property information by the one or more emergency response parties, the notification identifying the particulars of the access.

13. A system of claim 10, wherein the subscriber module is accessed on an electronic device.

14. A system of claim 10, wherein the server is further configured to prompt the subscriber module for the real property information at a specified interval.

15. A system of claim 14, wherein the database is further configured to contain a status flag for each subscriber module, the status flag representing the last interval check of a prompt sent.

16. A system of claim 10, wherein the server if further configured to provide a secure code to access the subscriber module'"'"'s real property lock box to the one or more emergency response parties if a subscriber module'"'"'s real property lock box permission setting allows for access to the one or more emergency response parties.

17. A system of claim 10, wherein control of the of real property information with respect to a defined sub-group of emergency response party personnel is given to a ERP controller, the ERP controller providing specific information of the real property information to the defined sub-group.

18. A system of claim 10, wherein the subscribers allow for one or more third parties access to the real property information comprise:

the processing engine configured to generate a security code; and

the server configured to send the security code to the one or more third parties, and wherein the server is further configured to receive the request for real property information from the one or more third parties, the request including the verification of the security code.
