1. A method of alerting a first responder computer system associated with a first responder that an emergency has occurred during a video communication between two or more participant communication devices, the method comprising:
preparing and sending emergency information over a network to a trusted custodian computer system, wherein the emergency information is associated with a first participant of a video communication, and is prepared and sent by a first participant communication device, associated with the first participant, to the trusted custodian computer system prior to commencement of the video communication;
receiving, at the trusted custodian computer system, the emergency information;
generating, at the trusted custodian computer system, a unique token corresponding to the emergency information; assigning the unique token to the first participant communication device prior to the commencement of the video communication;
transmitting the unique token, from a second participant communication device, associated with a second participant of the video communication, to a first responder computer system associated with a first responder when the second participant has witnessed that an emergency has occurred to the first participant during the video communication; transmitting the unique token from the first responder computer system associated with the first responder to the trusted custodian computer system; and
determining, at the trusted custodian computer system, that the first responder presenting the unique token to the trusted custodian computer system is both capable of responding to an emergency and has been permitted by the first participant to respond to the emergency;
granting access to the emergency information to the first responder computer system when the first responder has first been determined to be both capable of responding to the emergency and permitted to respond to the emergency; and
locating a second first responder that is determined to be both capable of responding to the emergency and permitted to respond to the emergency, and alerting the second first responder to the emergency and granting access to the emergency information to a second first responder computer system associated with the second first responder,
wherein the second participant communication device cannot access the emergency information from the unique token.
