  • Publication number: 20140254773
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for handling emergency calls. According to one embodiment, handling an emergency call can comprise receiving an emergency call from a calling number, determining whether the calling number has been ported from an original geographic location to a new geographic location, determining a spatial location for the calling number based at least in part on whether the calling number has been ported, identifying a public safety system for handling the emergency call based on the determined spatial location for the calling number, and routing the emergency call to the identified public safety system. Identifying the public safety system for handling the emergency call can comprise using a point-in-polygon check of the determined spatial location for the calling number against known spatial boundaries for a plurality of public safety systems.
