Another title for this thread could be "School me on emergency HAM usage". Let's say the grid is down hard.. no electricity, so normal radio stations and TV are down for the count. How could a hand-held radio such as a Yaesu VX-6r be of use? How would one go about getting info the frequencies that would be used, what methods of communication with others can be employed, etc. for hams and non-hams alike?
Sorry for the vagueness/cluelessness of the questions, but I am finally starting to turn my attentions to communications from a SHTF standpoint.
