Abstract
A system and method for providing an emergency contact party telephone line in response to an emergency. The system includes a user device () and a monitoring database (), which communicate with one another over the Internet (). A plurality of contacts and contact methods are stored on the monitoring database (). The contact methods for each contact are arranged in a hierarchy according to priority. When the user device () establishes an emergency condition, it communicates the emergency condition to the monitoring database (). The monitoring database () then establishes a support line, similar to a conference call line. Once the support line is set up, the monitoring database () sends a notification message of the emergency to the contacts through a first contact method. The monitoring database () then sends another notification message through a second contact method different to the first contact method to each of the contacts who did not respond to the first notification message.
