Using your UV-5R on FRS frequencies will be a violation of Federal Law. That

There's always 97.403, which allow using "any means of radiocommunication at
its disposal to provide essential communication needs in connection with the
immediate safety of human life and immediate protection of property when normal
communication systems are not available." 97.405 lays out another allowed
circumstance.
The OP, particularly being Mormon, I assumed might be talking about using the
radios in an 'emergency' context.
In my local CERT group, I would guess about 20% of members are AROs. I could
easily imagine a context where a strike team is assigned an FRS frequency for
inter-team comms and a dual-mode station stands by to relay information to the
EOC over Amateur Radio. If that's me, holding a Part-97 radio that can tx/rx
on FRS, I'm okay with that.
A downside with this plan is that one can't practice. Drills and exercises
aren't a legitimate emergency.
