Geographical redundancy and an efficient switchover process to redundant equipment (210) is achieved by separating active main equipment (220) and standby redundant equipment in different geographical locations so that failures can be avoided in the event of a natural disaster or other event that affects an entire building or region. In addition, partial switchover can be performed for components or functions that become inoperative to corresponding redundant components in the standby equipment. To provide further redundancy and prevent unneeded switchovers, status or heartbeat messages are transmitted between the active main equipment and standby redundant equipment over two different networks.

This invention describes a product that is used during emergency incidents where the location of people can be used to track who could have been involved in the incident for example Industrial Accidents, Extreme Weather, Natural Disasters, Terrorist Attacks etc. The service locates people using devices they carry with them typically their mobile phone (1). The people's locations are compared to the location and radius of the incident and the probability that they may have been involved in the incident is determined (possible or low probability). People are also automatically contacted by a verity of means for example SMS (2) to their mobile and asked to confirm their status. Their status is automatically updated and available to people who they have linked themselves to via the service.

A method and system for locating a network device in an emergency situation. Current physical location information is obtained for a network device every time it registers on a network or moves to a new physical location. The current physical location is sent and received in an encrypted format to and from the network device. When the network device initiates an emergency message (e.g. 911, E911, NG911, text-to-911, 112, etc.) based on an emergency event (e.g., weather, crime, fire, natural disaster, medical, terrorist, military, etc.), the emergency message includes the encrypted current physical location information for the network device. The current physical location information is decrypted and the emergency message is immediately routed in real-time to an appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The appropriate PSAP is immediately notified in real-time so emergency responders (e.g., police, fire, medical, etc.) can be dispatched to the current physical location of the network device.
