If you are having an emergency I don't know why you wouldn't just call for emergency help. Channel 16 on your VHF, or 911 on your cell. IDK for sure but I would assume the vhf is broadcast to both coast guard and life guard and depending on where you are the dispatcher will send what ever the appropriate agency is. Cell phone could be tricky because signal may be spotty and it will probably go directly to a county dispatcher who will have to route your call to the proper agency.

im not any kind of professional but that seems like a good way to go if you are having an emergency. I'm sure there's some EMS personnel who would be able to assist you with the technicalities.
