Emergency notification settings can be set to ensure that the desired people receive a notification when an extension triggers the emergency number. These notification settings are global and can not be adjusted on an individual basis for those whom have multiple emergency numbers listed. 

If you have not implemented an emergency number in the phone system, please see our Setting Emergency Numbers article.
