This app, Advanced 911, lets you text 911, send photos, plus it automatically sends your location (address, lat and long, and Google maps link - Nice).
This is important since the pre-installed iPhone SMS/Texting app, Messages, doesn't support texting to 9-1-1. 911 texts go nowhere! In fact, Advanced 911 is the only app available to do this!
If a 9-1-1 center isn't available, it helps me send a message to a friend with my location asking them to get me help. The app provides a button on the app's home screen to call 9-1-1.
It can be downloaded free from iTunes by searching for Advanced 911.
