Twilio apps really shine for this sort of thing. You can imagine all sorts of UX for a private emergency number:

Forward the call to your primary cell number directly.

If you only have a small number of potential counterparties, blow up all your notification streams with "555 555-5555 (Mom) is trying to get in touch [and has pressed 5, indicating an emergency]."

etc etc
