A walkie talkie tuned in on our favourite number, maybe, so we can keep each other around us updated. Keep it in a Faraday Box methinks with something to manually charge it.

In time of a life and death emergency, it is legal to use any radio to signal for help. You will likely get away with no license, but there is a certain skill set needed to use it effectively. Why not get a Ham license now? The test isn't that hard, and you can build relationships with other communicators before it's actually needed. I'll warn you of one thing though, no matter when you get on the air, if you don't have a license, generally no other operator will be willing to communicate with you.
Just as owning a firearm, you can shoot it right out of the box, but it's of limited value if you never trained with it. Better to train before the big event(s), and going to the firing range is fun.
Same with Ham radio.
