Recent examples include the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center inManhattan in 2001, the 2003 North America blackout and Hurricane Katrina in September 2005, where amateur radio was used to coordinate disaster relief activities when other systems failed.
On September 2, 2004, ham radio was used to inform weather forecasters with information on Hurricane Frances live from the Bahamas. On December 26, 2004, an earthquake and resulting tsunami across the Indian ocean wiped out all communications with the Andaman Islands, except for a DX-pedition that provided a means to coordinate relief efforts. Recently, Amateur Radio operators in the People's Republic of China provided emergency communications after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and U.S. hams did similar work following Hurricane Ike.

If a town were to lose power or a disaster strikes, there are assigned groups of people who are trained in these situations. In my hometown we have what is called 'A.R.E.S.' which is Amatuer Radio Emergency Service. It is all voluntary, and in order to be with an A.R.E.S. group, you need to have your ham radio license. I have included a link below to the ARRL Website which will explain in a lot more detail about A.R.E.S. and Ham Radio.
