Pilots can set the transponder to emergency code 7700 if they are in trouble. Sometimes this squawk is set by accident and they are not in a real emergency. If they are in a real emergency they are probably already talking to the ATC on the radio.

Just ignore this. Some is handling this.

I saw that on my feed the other day. I disregard all of these alerts, because by the time I see it, ATC is all over it.
