A system receives subscriber configuration information, for an emergency forking/notification service, that includes criteria for initiating the forking/notification service and contact information for a recipient of the forking/notification service. The system receives an emergency call from a calling device and route the emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP). The system identifies the emergency call as a candidate for the emergency forking/notification service based on information associated with the calling device and the criteria for initiating the forking/notification service, and automatically initiates a forking/notification session to notify the recipient that an emergency call has been initiated from the calling device.
