As far as 911/e911 goes, your provider should take care of forwarding your information to the appropriate databases, although you may have to fill out an online form with them before they will start the process.
Once you are told that 911 has been activated, you will want to test it to make sure that the proper information comes up.
I called the State Police to ask how to test 911 and they forwarded me to the local Emergency Operations Center who said to just call 911 and immediately identify the call as "non-emergency". NOTE: The procedure for your local area might be different. Contact your local law enforcement for guidance.
At that point, I explained I needed to verify that the proper contact information was being displayed. The operator asked me for my phone number and address, which matched what she was seeing on the screen. She also added our cell phone numbers in the notes for our record, just so they have alternate call-back numbers.
