They do the same thing rural people do ... call 9-1-1.

have you ever listened to those archived 9-1-1 tapes
where the only thing you can clearly make out is the
answering operator saying "please calm down, stop
screaming and crying so you can state the nature of
your emergency in a distinguishable voice."

The only ones I've heard were those broadcast on television. Of course
the advantage of enhanced 0-1-1 is being able to locate the caller via
Caller ID (land lines).
