These radios are all over the place and anyone can pick up your transmission if they are in range. If they are in range then you have issues. As any of us know the real danger in any catastrophe situation will be from living thinking humans. I recall my wife and I really pissing off the security in different amusement parks while using two ways to keep in touch.
In a SHTF/emergency situation, they'll certainly be handy - and OPSEC won't be an IMMEDIATE concern, as everyone tries to get to someplace safe initially.
LONGER term, especially during something nefarious, OPSEC will be an issue, but even then - if you know the code words ahead of time ("The chair is against the wall" - "John has a long mustache" ), that may be more important than they type of radio or bandwidth you're using.
I'd need a notebook.
