@tsherrygeo@m.ai6yr.org Hurricane Katrina. I don't have any specific references, but Amateur operators were absolutely instrumental in getting communications up and running.
Here's a report at the FCC website:

@tsherrygeo@m.ai6yr.org Back in the mid-late 2000s, when I lived in New Jersey and was a member of K2AA, I had my Kenwood TM-D700A and my Yaesu FT-100D mounted in a Tuffy dual overhead console in my 1998 Jeep Wrangler, and a CB mounted in a Tuffy center console. I unfortunately was not able to take the time off from work to head South and help out during hurricane recovery.
