As your business expands, it will become necessary to add or move around users and devices. These users and their devices will need Emergency Caller IDs and Emergency Addresses assigned to them. Doing so will ensure that if these users call 9-1-1, emergency services will be able to see who is calling and where they are located so that responders can be dispatched as quickly as possible.
Note: This guide will explore adding Emergency Addresses and Emergency Endpoints to Stratus accounts.
To learn how to assign Emergency Caller IDs and Emergency Addresses to users and devices, read the guide linked below:
Assign Emergency Caller IDs and Addresses
Add Emergency Numbers
To add more phone numbers to be selected as Emergency Caller IDs for users and devices, an Emergency Endpoint will need to be created.
An Emergency Endpoint will need to be created for each additional phone number that emergency services will see when a user or location calls 9-1-1. This Emergency Endpoint will also include the billing address information for the location/company.
To create an Emergency Endpoint…
1. Navigate to the Inventory page.
2. Visit the Emergency Endpoints tab.
3. Click the Add Endpoint button. 
4. In the Add Endpoint menu, fill in the following information:
• Call Back Number - Type a phone number that emergency services can call back for this location.
Note: The phone number typed here will be selectable for the Emergency Caller ID option in the following sections.
• Billing Address - If setting up a new call back number with the same billing address as a previous endpoint, you can select it here. Otherwise, continue entering in address information for “Add a new address”.
• Caller Name - Type a Caller ID Name that emergency services will see, such as your company's name.
• Address - Type your company's billing address. The address that responders will see is added in Step 2.
NOTE: Make sure to not include common mistakes such as typos or leading spaces. The address will need to be Validated by clicking the Validate button.
5. When you are ready, click the Validate button and make sure the validated address is accurate. 
6. If the validated address is correct, click the Save button. 
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for each location that has a different call back number and billing address.

You can use the Emergency Addresses tab of the Inventory to check the different addresses emergency responders will be sent to. If you have multiple locations and offices, you can add those additional addresses as Emergency Addresses.
To add an Emergency Address for a location…
