An idea whose time has surely come. Here's how it could go if this sort of thing catches on more generally:-
Telco operator:
"Good day. You are through to YooHoo 911. We value your call. How may we assist you?"
Distraught caller:
"Oh god!..omigod!..my husband just stuck his hand in the garbage disposal and we need an ambulance RIGHT NOW!!"
TO:
