1. A computer program product storing processor executable instructions for performing a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a first communication from a sender'"'"'s communications address to an emergency response communications address;
associating the sender'"'"'s communications address and the emergency response communications address to an emergency alert profile, the emergency alert profile storing emergency information associated with the sender'"'"'s communications address;
prompting the sender'"'"'s communications device during the first communication at the sender'"'"'s communications address to select a parameter that remotely controls an emergency alert;
receiving the parameter;
ending the first communication between the sender'"'"'s communications address and the emergency response communications address;
establishing a second communication with the sender at the sender'"'"'s communications address after the sender ends the first communication with the emergency response communications address;
prompting the sender during the second communication to enter a code that blocks generation of an emergency remote control communication;
retrieving an identifier of the emergency alert from the emergency alert profile;
generating the emergency alert control communication when the code is not entered; and
sending the emergency alert control communication to the sender'"'"'s communications address during an off-hook state of the second communication with the sender at the sender'"'"'s communications address, the emergency alert control communication activating the emergency alert.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses that operate with different communications devices, different users, and/or different communications networks to generate, enable, disable, transmit, and/or otherwise control an Emergency Alert Control Signal to an Emergency Alert Communications Address. According to embodiments of this invention, a calling party placing a call to an emergency response call center is enabled to control network-based activation and deactivation of one or more emergency alerts at a geographic address of an Emergency Alert Communications Address.

8. An emergency alert communications method, comprising:
-
receiving a calling number and a dialed number associated with a first communication from a sender'"'"'s communications device; associating the dialed number to an emergency response communications address; associating the calling number and the emergency response communications address to an emergency alert profile, the emergency alert profile storing emergency information associated with the calling number; prompting the sender'"'"'s communications device during the first communication at the calling number to select a parameter that remotely controls an emergency alert; receiving the parameter; ending the first communication between the sender'"'"'s communications address and the emergency response communications address; establishing a second communication with the sender at the sender'"'"'s communications address after the sender ends the first communication with the emergency response communications address; prompting the sender during the second communication to enter a code that blocks generation of an emergency remote control communication; retrieving an identifier of the emergency alert from the emergency alert profile; generating the emergency alert control communication when the code is not entered, the emergency alert control communication comprising the identifier of the emergency alert; establishing a voice connection on the second call with a third party; and sending the emergency alert control communication to the sender'"'"'s communications address during an off-hook state of the second communication with the sender at the sender'"'"'s communications address, the emergency alert control communication activating the emergency alert.
