I think it goes to a regional 911 center that asks you where you are.

I actually had chance to use 911 service on my cell last year ... my
wife and I were on a road trip through the west ... and encountered an
car accident that had JUST happened.

After I got my cell signal (took a while, I was out in the boonies) I
called 911.  IIRC, they asked me where I was and then routed me to the
appropriate call center.  In this case, it was the local national park
ranger station.

Oddly enough, the person who answered the phone in the ranger station
wasn't interested when I offered GPS coordinates.  I wasn't super
familiar with the area, and couldn't say where I was on a very long and
windy road (no jokes about the song please).  I figured if they had GPS
coordinates they could pinpoint my location easily and send people
exactly where they were needed.
