If you're REALLY serious you could get a HAM radio license. I don't think the requirements are anything like what they used to be, although I'm sure it's still a step above going out to the store and buying a radio and antenna.
HAM radio operators usually play some part in larger disasters, as they can send and receive from very large distances. IIRC, in the evenings when signals start bouncing off the atmosphere you can talk to radio operators in other countries with nothing but an antenna on your roof and a radio plugged into a wall outlet.
