When raising the issue of traveling alone through nature, advice is always given to notify people about your travel plan and expected date of arrival. In case something goes amiss emergency services can quickly be alerted and no delay is introduced in the search and rescue.

However, is it appropriate to ask your host (when CouchSurfing) or your hostel to be responsible for the activation of emergency services when certain conditions are met?

An example condition would be that I expect to arrive at 20:00 this Friday, but if I'm not there by 00:00, it should be assumed that something is wrong and the hostel clerk should alert emergency services.
