Thanks for the pointers. I'll take a look.
I should note that this isn't an computer emergency, this is a real
emergency, i.e. there is a hurricane coming and you need to be here.
Part of the requirements from the emergency first responders is that
this unmute any muted computers.

an applescript from code seems to be a rather clunky approach.
This is for emergency notification, so I have to be able to crank
the volume
on the system and then restore it afterwards.
Take a read of QA1016:

Also, TN2102, if you haven't already:

However, I would urge you not to mess around with the user's volume
control, even you think it is an "emergency"---the user may feel very
differently. Your application should play an alert sound, and trust
that the user's system output volume and alert volume are correct for
what they want to hear (although, I have no idea what your application
does; but in the general case, messing around with user settings when
they don't expect it isn't good).
