911 support is required of companies, it's monitored and fixed when not working.
But in this case, it's redundancy from the various providers - all providers must let you make a 911 call, no matter your phone or contract or provider.
So if AT&T's towers go down, your phone can still make 911 calls via Verizon or whomever else has a tower in your area, anything that can hear your phone will respond to a 911 call request.
