Thats right and to add...
For a simple emergency setup GMRS is hard to beat. Low learning curve and relatively inexpensive. Put up a good outside antenna and low loss coax into a mobile radio set up inside the house on a power supply or solar charged battery.
Using mobile antennas on and all your vehicles will greatly improve both transmit and receive range.
Look for handheld radios that have a connector for the antenna connection so you have the option of connecting better antennas.
