I also imagine there will be a lot of false positives that will inure strangers to responding. It doesn't take a lot of people who are jumpy and push the button when a tree moves in the wind to overwhelm legitimate calls for help. Even 911, which is harder to use, gets drilled into us as being only for emergencies, and has serious legal consequences for extreme abuse, gets a ton of stupid calls.
