Perhaps I wasn't clear. The process of dialing 911 via * is a given, what I'm concerned about is those situations in which you have a power failure and * isn't available. My contingency is to have a phone that is directly connected to the PSTN and simply turn the ringer off so that it isn't bothersome during normal operation. Given a power outage we could use that phone, but again it becomes an issue of training non-family members.

Sorry about that, was following a half dozen threads. Wasn't sure on the exact details of what you were after.
As for power failure options, you have several. The wiki lists quite a few good ideas. Depending on the type of phones you use, I think power-fail-switches are the best option, as your phones immediately become POTS connected phones. For IP phones, POE with a central LARGE UPS and/or generator would be good. The generator would have other benefits as well.
