Claim 12:
13. A system comprising: an emergency mass notification system (EMNS) activation server configured with a computer-readable storage medium, communicatively coupled to a communication network, and including communication protocol processing circuitry communicatively coupled to a processor of the EMNS activation server, wherein the computer-readable storage medium is configured to store EMNS protocol information for a plurality of EMNS provider services and a list of a plurality of event personnel devices, wherein the EMNS protocol information stored in the computer-readable storage medium indicates, for each of the plurality EMNS provider services, event-specific EMNS protocols that correspond with different categories of emergency events; and an activation premises device, comprising a plurality of event trigger controls configured to create an event trigger signal relating to an emergency event at an activation premises, wherein the event trigger controls are configured to accept a user input that initiates the event trigger signal, wherein the event trigger controls are configured to accept the user input that initiates the event trigger signal in a predefined format but does not modify the EMNS protocol information, wherein the computer-readable storage medium is configured to determine an event-specific EMNS protocol for each one of the plurality of EMNS provider services based on the stored EMNS protocol information in the database and a category of the emergency event identified in the event trigger signal, and wherein the communication protocol processing circuitry is configured to receive the event trigger signal transmitted by the activation premises device, to communicate via the communication network to each one of the plurality of EMNS provider services event data in the event-specific EMNS protocol, and to initiate a collaboration conference call via communications with the activation premises device and via communications with at least two of the plurality of event personnel devices without participation of any of the plurality of EMNS provider services.
