EmergencyInfo Pro is a compilation of Public Safety Answer Point (PSAP) and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) agencies throughout the United States. The product is designed to assist alarm companies in determining primary contact information for emergency medical service (EMS), fire, or police agencies.
When an EMS, fire, or police alarm is activated at a specific location, a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) communications center is notified if the PSAP is the primary contact for that location. The alarm is then dispatched to an Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), such as an EMS, fire, or police agency. The AHJ then responds to the alarm.
If the PSAP is not the primary contact for that location (through agreement between the PSAP and an AHJ), the AHJ should be notified directly.
EmergencyInfo Pro provides information about which agency (or agencies) should be contacted regarding an alarm, including geographic coverage of the respective entities. As an important note, it is always prudent to contact each authority and verify that the information is correct for the intended use.
