I did a quick internet search and these emergency flasher light switches can be a bit hard to find. I suggest you try using the search terms "911 locator switch" or "home locator switch". I found one called "911 Switch" at 911switch dot com, but it's pretty expensive at $150. Another is made by Pass & Seymour, model number TM8LOCATORW which is somewhere between $50 and $75. There might be some switches that can also be Alexa-controlled, but I have no further info on them. Good luck!
