To transmit with that radio you will need to get a ham license first.
After that, you could listen to emergency calls and even respond to them. Ham radio is used for emergencies and disasters but normally there are very few emergency calls over ham radio. Mostly you will hear hams just talking to one another – most of it is pretty mundane chatter between radio friends.
