Hi there jfknc4,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Thanks for reaching out to us from the related article: Make an emergency call from a locked iPhone

We're happy to help you with cancelling an emergency call on your iPhone. If you initiated the countdown you are able to cancel it. On an iPhone 8 or later, release the side button and volume button. If you're using an iPhone 7 or earlier, press the Stop button and then tap Stop Calling. If you've accidentally called emergency services, just tap the end call button and then confirm you want to end the call. Get more info on this here:

Use Emergency SOS on your iPhone

Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions.

Have a great day!
