Nope, iOS has a much better system for that that
allows that stuff to be displayed by anyone.

I don’t bother myself.

I don’t put anything in mine.

The local cops do have their own number and that is much more
useful than our equivalent of your 911 number. I just have it as
a normal phone number but with AAA in front of it so it shows up
right at the top of the contacts list.

Illegal here.

We do have a live traffic app provided by the govt that does
allow you to see traffic congestion, but google maps does a
much better job of traffic. The app is good for roads closed
by flooding and fire etc.

Nothing. Our system does allow the authorities to send SMSs to
those in areas affected by large scale emergencies, but that is
entirely driven by them, it gets sent to cellphones that are logged
on to particular bases etc and requires no action by individuals.
