Satellite SOS Automatic Questions

Can anyone provide the question tree automatically used by the iPhone 14 for satellite SOS? Having this tree known and understood in advance would be helpful for training of users and responders.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I am familiar with that Apple page and have done the demo for myself. But the missing information is item 4 of that page, "Text emergency services via satellite": "Using simple taps, answer the emergency questions to best describe your situation." These are the automated (or "canned") questions in the "Emergency Questionnaire" that is listed as "sent" when one begins the demo. These questions are asked even if the satellite connection has not yet been made. But these questions and answer choices are not seen in the demo, only in a real emergency. As I understand it, this is a question tree, with subsequent automated questions asked based upon one's answers to earlier questions. So what are the first tier automated questions? And based on the answers to those, what are the second tier, and so forth? Maybe one of the automated questions is something like, "what provisions do you have?" But a person unfamiliar with search-and-rescue may not quickly understand what "provisions" are. Are they being asked about the conditions in their insurance policy? No, they are being asked about food, water, shelter, heat. That presumably is clear from the answer choices, but it nonetheless would be useful to know for preparedness and training purposes what that question/answer tree looks like. It seems like it should be available in writing somewhere.
