    PSAP data is available to organization as comprehensive data sets or via an API that can be used in mobile applications and IoT. Devices themselves can 'phone home' from whatever location they are at, enabling rapid response by the proper agency and the one with jurisdiction over where that device may be. The boundaries for these agencies change often and having up-to-date information can mean the difference between life or death.
