Step 1A Set up and view your Medical ID (to be able to send location to Emergency Contacts when you dial 911)
iPhone and Apple Watch can help provide first responders with information about you that may be important in an emergency.
EMERGENCY TOOLS
Step 1? Make an emergency call or text on iPhone or Apple Watch
Quickly call for help on iPhone by using Emergency SOS or by tapping Emergency on the Passcode screen.
Go to Settings > Emergency SOS.
Do any of the following:
Turn Call with Hold on or off: Press and hold the side and volume buttons to start a countdown to call emergency services.
Turn Call with 5 presses on or off: Rapidly press the side button five times to start a countdown to call emergency services.
Manage your emergency contacts: In Health, tap Set Up Emergency Contacts or Edit Emergency Contacts. See Set up and view your Medical ID in the iPhone User Guide.
Note: If you have iPhone 14 or later (any model), you may be able to contact emergency services through satellite if cell service isn’t available. See Use Emergency SOS via satellite on your iPhone.
Or you can enable iPhone to start Emergency SOS when you quickly press the side button five times. Go to Settings > Emergency SOS, then turn on Call with 5 Presses.
Step 1? "Find My and location sharing" is distinct from Emergency SOS mode. Will confirm.
If you need to get to a safe location and you want to turn off your device, but you’re concerned that someone else may use this feature to find your location, you can temporarily turn off the Find My Network when you power off the device by tapping iPhone Findable After Power Off (under Slide to Power Off) and following the onscreen instructions. Use the task below if you want to disable this feature.
CAUTION: When you turn off Find My [device] and Find My network, you aren’t able to locate, lock, or erase your device if it’s lost or stolen.
On your iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > [your name] > Find My > Find My iPhone > Find My network.
Disabling this feature means you can’t use it if your device is lost or stolen and powered down.
A's note: I'm researching whether turning off Find My iPhone impacts location sharing with 911 and Emergency Contacts. I don't believe it does but I will get back with answer.

I am double checking now to ensure turning this off doesn't impact Emergency SOS location sharing.
Step 2A. Checklist 2: Manage location information
Use this checklist for your iPhone or iPad to make sure no one else can see your location.
Step 3. Temporarily toggle on Location Services -- System Services -- Find My iPhone to do a tacker sweep. Detect unwanted trackers
Keep your Location Use AirTag and the Find My network to discourage unwanted tracking on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services, and turn Location Services on.
Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services, and turn Find My iPhone on.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth, and turn on Bluetooth.
Go to Settings > Notifications > scroll down to Tracking Notifications, then turn on Allow Notifications.
I would recommend keeping these services toggled off until you are ready to do a commercial bug sweep.
