I distinctly remember in the 90s thinking there should be a voice prompt for a password to incoming callers after a certain hour heh This actually has been solved on my phone at least, there is an option that it will ring through on silent if the caller attempts multiple times within a certain interval. This will result in you being 15 mins late to the emergency, but is pretty much guaranteed to work since in any big enough disaster they're sure to try multiple times. :) I think the phone should just explain to the person "press 1 to override silence", then you could enable it for known callers only.
