This disclosure provides a method and system for tracking and communicating with responders in the event of an emergency situation. An emergency server coupled to a wireless telecommunications network receives a notification of an emergency situation, establishes a first geofence around a location of the emergency situation, determines a set of candidate responders registered to an area associated with the location, transmits a request for UE locations of the set of candidate responders to a location server and receives a response, determines which UEs of candidate responders are within an area bounded by the geofence, and transmits messages soliciting responders to the UEs.
