1. A method for sharing data pertaining to an emergency by an emergency management system comprising:
- a) detecting a request for emergency assistance from a user communication device;
b) identifying a first responder in the vicinity of the user communication device for responding to the request for the emergency assistance;
c) establishing a first data channel with the user communication device;
d) establishing a second data channel with a communication device of the first responder;
e) bridging the first data channel and the second data channel using a communication bridge, wherein the data from the user communication device is screened or filtered based on at least one of spam, virus, file size, file type, or first responder preference settings to provide a data set comprising relevant data pertaining to the emergency; and
f) sharing the data set with the communication device of the first responder over the communication bridge by routing the data set through the emergency management system.
