The government may utilize ham radio (technically defined as "Amateur Radio") during times of disaster, natural or man-made, to provide inter-agency emergency communications. Amateur Radio operators by law are not allowed to accept payment for their services, and as such, they are not government employees.
There are several volunteer organizations that various government agencies may enlist to provide emergency communications, such as ARES, the Amateur Radio Emergency Service.

What are the benefits of ham radio?
Ham radios are vehicles for communication. They provide a platform for the exchange of information or data in emergency situations or in disasters. The amateur radio service is founded on a pledge that includes public service, and radio amateurs, the "hams" who use the equipment, are sometimes the only links between zones of destruction and the "outside" world. The ham radio is also a bridge connecting people and making them friends. Signals from even the smallest equipments can cross national boundaries, and hams are resistant "staying in their own back yards" when the atmospheric conditions are right (and when they aren't!). The radio amateur mans his ham radio and literally has the world at his fingertips. A ham radio is an increasingly sophisticated piece of technology, but it calls the user, the ham operator, to learn and improve on his technical knowledge and skill. Ham radio operators are asked to learn about the science behind their hobby, and to study to increase their understanding of the principles on which the humble ham radio works. The ham radio is a tool that a technically equipped individual can use to warn of or report on bad situations, bring people closer together, and open the eyes to a larger world.
