A method for routing emergency calls is provided for emergency calls placed over a packet-switched network (310) from a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) (110) at a remote location (100). The method includes: registering the CPE (110) with a home Internet Service Provider (ISP) (260) through a remote ISP (130) that is providing the CPE (110) access to the packet-switched network (310); determining that the CPE is at a remote location (100); obtaining a local Internet Protocol (IP) address that corresponds to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) (170) serving the remote location (100); routing non-emergency calls to the home ISP (260) for call processing; and, handling emergency calls locally at the remote ISP (130) in accordance with the obtained local IP address.
