As a means of communication into a disaster area, amateur radio can work, but gets flooded easily. It's great for getting word out of the disaster area to family and friends that you are still alive and not too badly injured.
This is called Health and Welfare Traffic.
So if an emergency occurs, don't try to send traffic into the area. If you are in an emergency area, then you might want to send messsage traffic to your loved ones outside the area.
There's a national network of relays setup to pass traffic, and they practice every day to stay in shape. It's called the National Traffic System aka NTS. It's sponsored by the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL).

A couple of suggestions to avoid health problems:
1) hookups to electronic muscle stimulator to prevent muscle atrophy.
2) hookups to human waste disposal system to transport liquid and solid waste away for treatment/disposal
