Does not the declaration of a state of emergency, make room for extenuating circumstances, emergencies and humanitarian purposes?  Why declare a state of emergency if it doesn't mean anything other than perfectly centralized disaster relief response which ends in prop washing someone else's valiant yet less uniformed efforts?  Some people, including myself, many times past, think of law and it's associated legalities as some sort of intricately carved marble statue that is immutable in it's brilliance save for the last few "rough spots" that need to be chisled down to the final flawless and eternally perfect detail... 🙄 Good grief!  I want another statue already... this one is already boring me to death!  If you are dying or about to, without water, then get on that radio and squawk ALL DAY long until someone says, "MESSAGE RECEIVED, HELP IS ON THE WAY!"  It's a really big world with lots of room for everyone and ALL of their radio waves!  Verizon hasn't bought the entire electromagnetic spectrum yet, AFAIK.  And if that licensed someone, acknowledges that call for help and doesn't pass the message along, and we find out that it resulted in someone's death or grave injury... I believe there are laws for that too, don't we?  No need to get all grim justice on the gatekeepers, but there MUST be a greater broadcast depth than just ham or whatever frequencies, the chatter is about...  From what I've been learning from Andreas Spiess on YouTube, there are new comms technologies.  Even so, our family still used the old FM radio music station and it worked like a charm.  Thankfully, we could go to the advertised water distribution points ourselves.  Not everyone has that ingress/egress option... If i were in a more difficult and remote area and only had an unlicensed radio... I know what I would do...
