Advanced Mobile Location is a system where when you make a call to the emergency services your phone also starts sending location information to them. This has been deployed in Android devices since Gingerbread as Emergency Location Service (ELS), and Apple devices since IOS 11.3. How about also Jolla?

Does AML also account for the emergency alert systems? This may be a very American thing, but I doubt the US is the only place with some type of alert system that the mobile phone is a part of.
