There's FCC licensing if you want to do shit legally on the ham frequencies. But.. if it's a SHTF situations, I doubt anyone is going to check your call sign. Just get familiar enough with how it works. If you need to use it, don't worry.
I do a lot of listening, know what the frequencies are. Have programmed for the local ham repeater, VHF 16, and some other 'empty' frequencies. Not hard, and might be useful.
