I wouldn't involve a 2nd person,
A sealed envelope labeled "In case of actual or impending catastrophe" should suffice. Sending the alert would require a string of characters inside the envelope,
Envelope should also contain the instructions for initiating the alert, in case the person who opens the envelope is not familiar with the software for sending the alert.
The important UX part is that the person has to get up out of their chair and open a very serious looking envelope.
