Abstract

Method and apparatus for enhanced emergency response are provided. An activation signal indicating an event has occurred at a first location is received. An alert is transmitted to a set of transaction processing devices at the first location, where the alert instructs each respective transaction processing device, from the set of transaction processing devices, to suspend respective transactions that are pending for completion. A deactivation signal indicating the event was resolved is received. Responsive to receiving the deactivation signal, diagnostic checks are conducted on each of the set of transaction processing devices to determine operational status. A transaction processing device, from the set of transaction processing devices, is determined to be operational. Responsive to determining the transaction processing device is operational, the transaction processing device is instructed to resume the respective transactions suspended on the transaction processing device.
