Nobody cares in an emergency...

Other than the legit licensed responders who now have to traffic manage a pile of morons with no operating experience.

That's fair especially now.

You’re allowed to use any frequency in an actual emergency.

[iasay → runnerup]

No you can’t. You can only frequencies within the allocated spectrum for amateur radio. And it must be for the specific purpose of emergency comms. And that’s not universally true everywhere.

My point wasn't a legal question, if it's life or death you do what you whatever you can to survive.
