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).

certain city persons I'm acquainted with discovered to
their complete dissatisfaction how their cell phones
were not GPS compatible. horrified by the prospect of
becoming lost in the back yard of their 1/8 acre estate
and frightened by the aspect of rescue personnel being
unable to locate them in a timely fashion, those afore
mentioned city persons incurred a mentionable expense
in order to upgrade their cell phone to the more recent
design incorporating the GPS locatable beacon. now they
roam carefree all over their backyard.
