  5. The emergency call-taking center shall coordinate, correlate, and verify all emergency inputs, including those identified based on external calls and internal analysis of security sensor and surveillance data, and assign each a level of confidence.
  6. The emergency call-taking center shall receive emergency notification information from public transit systems and present the possible incident information to the emergency system operator.
  7. The emergency call-taking center shall receive emergency notification information from other public safety agencies and present the possible incident information to the emergency system operator.
  8. The emergency call-taking center shall receive emergency call information from other emergency management centers, e.g. mayday service providers, and present the possible incident information to the emergency system operator.
  9. The emergency call-taking center shall receive emergency call information from vehicles and present the possible incident information to the emergency system operator.
  10. The emergency call-taking center shall forward the verified emergency information to the responding agency based on the location and nature of the emergency.
