Claim 9:
10. A processor based method of providing a notification, comprising: receiving, by a processor communicatively coupled to a database, an event trigger signal transmitted by an activation premises device, the event trigger signal relating to an emergency event at an activation premises, wherein the database stores emergency mass notification system (EMNS) protocol information for a plurality of EMNS provider services, and a list of a plurality of event personnel devices to be notified of an emergency event, wherein the EMNS protocol information stored in the database indicates, for each of the plurality EMNS provider services, event-specific EMNS protocols that correspond with different categories of emergency events, and wherein the activation premises device comprises a plurality of event trigger controls configured to create the event trigger signal relating to the emergency event, and the event trigger controls are configured to accept a user input that initiates the event trigger signal in a predefined format but that does not modify the EMNS protocol information or the list of the plurality of event personnel devices stored by the database; determining, by the processor, an event-specific EMNS protocol for each one of the plurality of EMNS provider services based on the stored EMNS protocol information in the data base and a category of the emergency event identified in the event trigger signal; transmitting, by the processor, the event data in the event-specific EMNS protocol to each one of the plurality of EMNS provider services; communicating, by the processor, data based upon the event trigger signal to at least two of the plurality of event personnel devices; and initiating, by the processor, a collaboration conference call among the activation premises device and the at least two of the plurality of event personnel devices without participation of any of the plurality of EMNS provider services.
