A method and system for determining and verifying a location of mobile and non-mobile devices in emergency situations. The method and system provide a current physical geographic location for a mobile or non-mobile device (e.g., building address, a building floor, a room on a building floor, campus, enterprise, city, state, region, country, continent, etc.) with and without translation of location coordinates, in an emergency situation such as an accident, fire, terrorist attack, military incident, kidnapping, etc.

The method of claim 1 wherein the desired emergency response server is an E911 or 911 emergency response server, or a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) server. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the emergency message further includes a triggering event from a sensor or another network device. 5. The method of claim 1 further comprising a wired access point and the first mobile network device connected to a wired communications network with a wired connection. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the current 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates at the current physical location includes current 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates for a room on a building floor, building floor in a building, building on a street, an enterprise, campus, village, town, city, state, country or continent or global region. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the emergency message includes an E911 communication or a 911 communication message. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the emergency message is received over a wireless interface including: Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS), cellular telephone, Personal Communications Services network (PCS), Packet Cellular Network (PCN), Global System for Mobile Communications, (GSM), Generic Packet Radio Services (GPRS), Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) or Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), IEEE 802.11xx, Global Positioning System (GPS) and GPS map, Digital GPS (DGPS), Instant Messaging (IM), Short Message Services (SMS), Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID), Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM), or a Zigbee wireless interface. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the unique identifier includes a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) for the first mobile network device unique across all wireless and wired communications network the first mobile network device is connected to. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the first mobile network device automatically determines and stores its own current physical geographical location information from the communications network. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the first mobile network device includes a smart network device comprising a smart phone or a tablet computer and wherein the application includes a smart application for the smart phone or the tablet computer. 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the emergency event includes an accident, event, fire event, terrorist attack event, military event or crime event. 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the emergency event includes an emergency event detected by an accelerometer or a temperature sensor included on the first mobile network device. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a location request message on the server network device to determine a current physical location for the first mobile network device;retrieving on the first mobile network device via one or more other server network devices on the wireless communications network the current physical location of the first mobile network device;verifying the current physical location of the first mobile network device by comparing the retrieved current physical location information to a stored current physical location information for the first mobile network device; andsending to the desired emergency response server the current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device. 15. The method of claim 14 wherein the sending step including sending location information about the first mobile network device in current three dimensional (3D) (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates at the current physical geographic location. 16. The method of claim 14 wherein the retrieving step includes retrieving the current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device with data link layer request using Internet Protocol (IP). 17. The method of claim 14 where the first mobile network device periodically determines and sends the current physical location for the first mobile network device to the server network device via the wireless communications network. 18. The method of claim 14 receiving step includes an automatic location request message generated on the first mobile network device when the first mobile network device is physically shaken in a pre-determined pattern. 19. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions for causing one or more processors to execute the steps of: receiving on a network server device with one or more processors a wireless emergency message from an application on a first mobile network device with one or more processors via a wireless communications network indicating an emergency event has occurred with the first mobile network device,wherein the wireless emergency message includes a unique identifier comprising a specialized E911-based unique identifier for the first mobile network device unique across all wireless and wired communications network the first mobile network device connects to and a current set of three dimensional (3D) (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates for the first mobile network device, andwherein the first mobile network device automatically and periodically determines and stores its own current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates and its own current geographical physical location and periodically and automatically sends its own current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates and its own current geographical physical location to the network server device;determining on the network server device with the E911-based unique identifier and the current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates from the emergency message, a current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device;verifying the first mobile network device is actually located at the determined current physical geographic location by comparing the determined current physical geographic location to a previously stored physical geographic location for the first mobile network device; andsending from the network server device to a desired emergency response server with one or more processors the determined and verified current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device. 20.
