I strongly encourage anyone who does wish to register to use this
http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travel-and-living-abroad/staying-safe/Locate/
That way you know your information is going to the right place.
While this page does mention that your information 'may be given to carefully
selected contacts in the country concerned', it raises the interesting question
of why the request was not made to register here...
This system is also mentioned on the local Embassy website here:

If they haven't got our email addresses, how can they email us and ask us?
I'm going to have to check this out now - if it's fake, I'm going to look a bit
of a plonker!

Dear friends
I recently volunteered to be a Consular Warden for the British Embassy in
Moscow. The warden system has two principle objectives
i) to assist the Embassy in maintaining accurate records of the British
Community in the Moscow consular district and
ii) to facilitate the transmission of information relating to the safety and
welfare of the British community in any kind of emergency.
As a Warden for the constituency of “companies with only a few expat employees”
from any sector. I will be drawing up a list of British Citizens within that
group and supplying that list to the British Embassy to help them keep their
records up to date.
best regards Helene
If you let me have your full NAME, Mobile telephone and email address, I can
add you to the list. This will ensure that in the event of a consular emergency
happening in-country I can contact you quickly to keep you informed of events,
and the British Embassy can quickly account for all British Nationals.
As I am expected to compose a list of up to a 100 contacts, I would be very
grateful if you could pass this letter on to ALL your British friends based in
Moscow. Please note all contact details will remain confidential and will only
be shared with the UK Embassy only.
If you have an Questions, please give me a call or send me an E Mail.
