How do I turn off the location updates after SOS call was made?

I accidentally sent an SOS call after not knowing that clicking the wake button five times made the call. It sent my location to my emergency contacts but now many hours later, it sent my location to them again. How do I stop this from happening?

iPhone 7, iOS 11.1.2

Go to settings>privacy>location services>system services>Emergency SOS - turn off. You can turn it right back on. Open the text that they are being sent and it should have a link to turn it off.
