Best suggestion I can think of is don't stop with the Technician license, at least get a General class license. That opens up all of the bands instead of just the VHF/UHF bands. Hugely less limiting!
If you are looking for good 'back-up' communications ability, ham radio isn't bad. It's also not something I would depend on without preparations. Get a 'sat-phone', they typically are usable 'right now'. You don't have to depend on ol'whatshisname who'z watching some ball game, you know? that's sort of off in left field, but something to think about.
