Morphology
The meaning 'communication used during a crisis' is directly and compositionally derived from 'emergency' (a sudden incident requiring immediate action) + 'communication' (exchanging information). This noun–noun compounding pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Emergency communication paints a simple picture: people using radios, phones, or loudspeakers to warn others during an emergency, giving direct communication so people can stay safe. So, it means the ways people send urgent information in a 'crisis'.
