How to get emergency help online?

just a curious and slightly silly question. If someone were to need emergency help and doesn’t have access to a phone line to dial 911 are there any options online? Lets just say you need to get a hold of the cops because the “killer” has cut your phone line and your laptop is your only way to recieve help? Is it feasible

I’ve not heard of any online 911 type service, so I’m not sure how one would receive a quick response from an online source. My first thought would be to send IM’s and/or e-mails to all of my contacts asking them to get in touch with emergency services for me. Beyond that, I guess one could use a search engine to find websites for local police or fire departments and use any of the “contact us” links to e-mail for assistance. Since most of those addresses are for administrative personnel and not intended for emergency use, I would suspect that one would risk either a very slow response or none at all. The e-mails might be blown off as a hoax.
