911 support varies a lot depending on where you live, and what you use
to dial it. In the Bay Area, most 911 calls go to a call center in
Oakland, or somewhere near there (I forget). We've been advised by law
enforcement that if you're calling from a cell phone up here in the
mountains, that calling 911 is the "wrong thing to do". They've advised
us to keep the local constabulary dispatch numbers on speed dial. I'm
sure that if you are on VoIP, there would be similar issues depending on
how you're getting VoIP service.

That's assuming the 911 service is even operational.
