I'm not sure survivalist types will be happy with having to register with the Federal government to do something.
Plus, last I checked, I can look up ham callsigns online and find real names and addresses. (Just did: Popped callsign into Google, name and address came out, straight from the FCC.) If you're looking side-eyed at Facebook for invasions of privacy, I cannot imagine consenting to that level of utter public exposure.

And when the SHTF, the FCC is not going to bother people that had good intentions. Source: Have sat next to the FCC while operating out of spectrum. They really don't get involved unless you are interfering with someone. To really get their attention requires interfering with a government agency or a business or operating in a commercial spectrum. That is just my experience anyway.
