How to make a satellite call to 911 during cell service outages

Looks like for hurricane Milton, like Helene Starlink is providing emergency texting via T-Mobile for all phones. More details here: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1843903981480980642

Like this quote: "If a phone connects to a Starlink satellite, it will have 1 to 2 bars of signal and show "T-Mobile SpaceX" in the network name. Users may have to manually retry text messages if they don't go through at first, as this is being delivered on a best-effort basis. The service works best outdoors, and occasionally works indoors near a window."
