Abstract
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing Internet of Things ('IoT') functionality with a Public Safety Answering Point ('PSAP'). In some embodiments, a computing system located at a PSAP might receive a first message indicative of an emergency situation, analyze the first message to determine one or more actions to be taken, and identify one or more devices (e.g., household devices; vehicular components associated with a vehicle; utility devices; devices disposed in, on, or along a roadway; devices disposed throughout a population area; etc.) for performing the determined one or more first actions. The computing system might then autonomously control each of the identified one or more devices to perform tasks based on the determined one or more first actions to be taken, thereby implementing smart environment functionality (e.g., smart home, building, or customer premises functionality, smart vehicle functionality, smart utility, smart roadway functionality, smart city functionality, etc.).
