1. A device comprising:
a communication interface;
a controller configured to:
receive, via the communication interface, a call and an associated location including ground coordinates and an altitude;
select a primary public-safety responder type from a plurality of public-safety responder types associated with corresponding altitude ranges that are at or near the ground coordinates, the primary public-safety responder type associated with a corresponding altitude range that includes the altitude of the associated location of the call, wherein the plurality of public-safety responder types correspond to a plurality of different responders, each associated with a different corresponding altitude range; and
one of:
automatically dispatch, via the communication interface, the primary public-safety responder type to the ground coordinates and the altitude associated with the call; and
provide, via the communication interface, to a public-safety answering point associated with the ground coordinates, an electronic suggestion to dispatch the primary public-safety responder type to the ground coordinates and the altitude associated with the call.
