The process of dialing 911 via * is a given, what I'm concerned about is those situations in which you have a power failure and * isn't available. My contingency is to have a phone that is directly connected to the PSTN and simply turn the ringer off so that it isn't bothersome during normal operation. Given a power outage we could use that phone, but again it becomes an issue of training non-family members.
