An emergency location must be associated with a phone number, but when this happens can vary between countries and regions. For example, in the United States, you need to associate an emergency location when you assign the phone number to the user. In the United Kingdom, you need to associate an emergency location to the phone number when you get the phone numbers from Microsoft 365 or Office 365 or transfer phone numbers from your current service provider.
No matter which country or region you are in, you can add a place or places to an emergency location and remove an emergency location. Depending on the number of physical locations in your organization, you can create places for buildings, floors, and offices. See Manage emergency calling.
To learn how to get a Calling Plan and how much they cost, see Teams add-on licensing.
You manage emergency locations for your organization in the Microsoft Teams admin center or by using PowerShell.

-
In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, click Locations > Emergency addresses.

-
Select the country or region, and then enter the address.
Note
In Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, and Spain, it's important to understand that to successfully activate a phone number in Microsoft 365 or Office 365, the address set up in the emergency location, which is used to acquire the number, must match the phone number's area code.
-
If the address isn't found and you want to manually edit the address, turn on Edit the address manually.
-
Click Save.
Using PowerShell
