That is not the ONLY reason for Amateur Radio (well, maybe in your world). My reason for Amateur Radio is far from EmComm and Providing a service "when all else fails." Though I do support ARES and RACES, I do a lot of other things that are Amateur Radio related, to include contesting and Satellite Contacts. EMCOMM IS NOT THE ONLY REASON FOR AMATEUR RADIO.
