Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing emergency information may include intercepting, on a mobile-computing device, an emergency communication being transmitted from the mobile-computing device. Intercepting the emergency communication may include monitoring outgoing communications on the mobile-computing device and determining that an outgoing communication being monitored is a communication about an emergency. This method may also include sending, from the mobile-computing device to a remote server that collects emergency data from a plurality of mobile-computing devices, information about the emergency communication and location information that identifies a location of the emergency. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
