# Emergency Calling for SIP Trunking API

This page covers how to use Twilio's REST API to configure a SIP Trunk Phone Number's emergency Address. Before proceeding, you must read the [SIP Trunking Emergency Calling doc](/docs/sip-trunking/emergency-calling).

Don't want to use the REST API? You can also use the Console to configure emergency calling Addresses. See the [SIP Trunking Emergency Calling doc](/docs/sip-trunking/emergency-calling#configure-emergencycalling) for more information.

## Emergency Addresses

Before you can configure a Twilio Phone Number for emergency calling, you need to create an emergency Address. An emergency Address is an [Address resource](/docs/usage/api/address) with the `emergency_enabled` property set to `true`.

You can use the same emergency Address for multiple Phone Numbers if appropriate.

### Create a new emergency Address

To create a new emergency Address resource via REST API, create a new Address resource with the `emergency_enabled` parameter set to `true`. An example request is shown below.

Create a new emergency Address

```js
// Download the helper library from https://www.twilio.com/docs/node/install
const twilio = require("twilio"); // Or, for ESM: import twilio from "twilio";

// Find your Account SID at twilio.com/console
// Provision API Keys at twilio.com/console/runtime/api-keys
// and set the environment variables. See http://twil.io/secure
// For local testing, you can use your Account SID and Auth token
const accountSid = process.env.TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID;
const apiKey = process.env.TWILIO_API_KEY;
const apiSecret = process.env.TWILIO_API_SECRET;
const client = twilio(apiKey, apiSecret, { accountSid: accountSid });

async function createAddress() {
  const address = await client.addresses.create({
    city: "San Francisco",

    isoCountry: "US",
    postalCode: "94105",
    region: "CA",
    street: "645 Harrison St.",
  });

  console.log(address.accountSid);
}

createAddress();
```

The response to this request contains a `sid` property. This is the Address's SID, which you need when configuring your Phone Numbers.

### Use an existing Address resource as an emergency Address

If you already have an Address resource you wish to use as an emergency Address, [update the Address resource](/docs/usage/api/address#update-an-address-resource) so that the `emergency_enabled` property is `true` as shown in the example below.

## Associate an emergency Address with a Phone Number

Once you've created an emergency Address, you need to update the [IncomingPhoneNumber resource](/docs/phone-numbers/api/incomingphonenumber-resource)'s `emergency_address_sid` property with the emergency Address SID, as shown in the code sample below.

This request requires the SID of the Phone Number. You can find the SIDs of your SIP Trunk's Phone Numbers using the [PhoneNumber Subresource](/docs/sip-trunking/api/phonenumber-resource).

## Check a Phone Number's emergency Address status

You can check on the status of a Phone Number's emergency Address registration by [fetching the IncomingPhoneNumber resource](/docs/phone-numbers/api/incomingphonenumber-resource#fetch-an-incomingphonenumber-resource) and checking the value of the `emergency_address_status` property. An example of this request is shown below.

After this request, you should [check the emergency Address registration status of the Phone Number](#check-a-phone-numbers-emergency-address-status) to ensure the de-registration of that emergency Address.

## Change an emergency Address for a Phone Number

To change a Phone Number's emergency Address, you need to follow the steps listed below.

1. [Remove the `emergency_address_sid` from the IncomingPhoneNumber resource](#remove-an-emergency-address-from-a-phone-number).
2. [Check the emergency Address registration status of the Phone Number](#check-a-phone-numbers-emergency-address-status). Wait until the `emergency_address_status` is `unregistered` before proceeding.
3. [Update the IncomingPhoneNumber resource's `emergency_address_sid`](#associate-an-emergency-address-with-a-phone-number) with the new emergency Address SID.
4. [Check the emergency Address registration status of the Phone Number](#check-a-phone-numbers-emergency-address-status). Once the `emergency_address_status` is `registered`, the Phone Number has been successfully updated.

## Delete an emergency Address

If you wish to delete an emergency Address, you must first make sure that it is no longer associated with any IncomingPhoneNumber resources (or any other Twilio resource).

You can then delete the Address resource, as shown in the sample request below.
