I assume you mean to take up an unused local channel? Or to bargain for

Both ideas make sense.

if this is for real time notification you don't have time to bargain or to
find an unused channel... and who would listen to you anyway if it was
unused? how often do you turn the knob on your car radio??

what about the emergency broadcast system? that would seem to be the
'proper' method of emergency notification, its already set up for all sorts
of local, regional, and national notifications.
