I am sure others will be along with details, but to get you started I will kick things off. Different radios will have different requirements for legal use. Basically, the higher the power, the more regulation there will be.
If you are serious about long range communicating during an extended emergency, then go get your ham license. For short range stuff, FRS/CB will suffice. I keep a couple of small FRS devices and a couple of hand held CB's in my emergency kit. These are small enough to easily stow with all the rest of the gear and would provide limited, short range communication for small teams or a family.
