You were most definately mistaken.  ESPECIALLY in emergency situations,
operating protocol is to be followed.  There are established policies and
procedures in effect.  ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) networks
operate with a Net Control Operator.

With that said, obtaining an technician class amateur radio license is not
a difficult task.  Information is available at:
