How emergency calling works
Normally, if you dial 911 from your cell phone, your call is routed to the 911 call center closest to your phone’s location.
Nest Aware’s Emergency Calling connects you to the 911 call center closest to your home, based on the home address you enter in the Google Home app . This lets you quickly contact your local emergency services no matter where you are, even if you’re far away from home.* So if you’re away from home and use Nest Aware Emergency Calling, you’ll be routed to a call center that can dispatch emergency responders to your home’s location.
