No, the writer's misunderstanding of that use case is explained in the comments. Emergency services don't have sms/mms service. The W3W service would presumably use SMS to get location. (phone sends lat/long coords via sms, gets 3 word response).
SMS tends to be more reliable than a data connection in areas with a poor connection (remote, or interference).
This is doable right now - having some sort of data-to-emergencyservices gateway does not exist.
