I have a VHF for 2 reasons;

1. Others boaters will hear my calls for help and start responding when 911 is between me and an operator in Concord that then calls the fire dept.

2. My VHF is connected to my GPS and upon pressing an emergency button...my exact location is transmitted to other VHF radios. This is a common feature on most basic level radios. And its another relatively inexpensive layer of insurance when a boat is on fire or sinking.

My $.02!
