I wouldn't call the cops unless it sounded violent.

If she doesn't seek help on her own, she can't be forced into help unless she is a danger to herself or others or unable to take care of her basic needs.
I have a neighbor who spent nine hours on his front balcony swearing and calling unseen people mfers and other unkind things. When I was about to go to bed, I called the cops. (Because I didn't want to have to listen to it all night long. They were there for two minutes and left. But he stopped.
You might try befriending her and find out what's going on in her life. Then you can get more information and if she seems to not be functioning well, then suggest she get some counseling.
If she has no insurance and isn't independently wealthy, it's tough to get help. To get help for her , you can try calling the police when she is yelling. But if all she does is yell for a half hour, nothing will happen. I don't understand the third question. Do you mean intervention?
Was it possible she was yelling at someone who was there? If so, then probably nothing is going on but a fight. IF it sounded like she was being hurt or in danger, then you should have called the police at the time.

Go and pay a visit to your neighbor. Bring her some flowers and ask, "I heard some loud voices the other night, and I became concerned for your well being. Is there anything I can do to be of help?" That should get some more information.
Losing one's temper, or screaming is not necessarily an indication that someone needs help. There might have been a perfectly rational cause for this emotional expression.
Check out the normal before you assume the abnormal.
