That depends if you are going to be Mobile or at your Bug-Out Location.
A small Ham Radio is best for stationary listening or broadcasting.
Now a CB can be used as a base station (ham radio) but you might want to boost the watts and have a tall antenna.
Remember a car CB is a 12 volt car battery system, batteries are heavy to move, so I would buy a 12 volt 80Ah to 100Ah Lithium Iron or Ion Phosphate battery, Very, Very small and light.
You'll want that antenna either mobile or well hidden, to keep the occasional pesky drone from pulling your ears off. I used to make them by stringing a wire up between insulators mounted high in trees but still under the canopy to keep them hidden, and made sure they were disconnected from the set when not in use so they couldn't be triangulated and found.
And if you're transmitting, don't do it on a regular schedule. Change it up, keep it random looking, so they don't know when to try to triangulate.
Boosting wattage may raise the ire of the FCC - or more nefarious folks - so randomness of transmissions is a must.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
