Hi Doyle05,


You can set Emergency Contacts and they will be notified if you use the Emergency SOS feature on your iPhone to call emergency service, but not if you just dial 911:


"You can also add emergency contacts. After an emergency call ends, your iPhone alerts your emergency contacts with a text message, unless you choose to cancel. Your iPhone sends your current location, and for a period of time after you enter SOS mode, your emergency contacts receive updates when your location changes."


That excerpt is from the following article, which contains further information about using Emergency SOS:

Cheers!
