Out of interest I have googled to see if it is legal to open transmit on a radio frequency in an emergency,

 

Appears to be legal in the Unites States,

 

But how about in New Zealand?

From the NZART (Association of Radio Transmitters) question/answer bank:

 

A person in distress may use any means available to attract attention

 

I take this to mean Yes, in a genuine emergency an unlicensed person could transmit to call for assistance.

 

Cheers
