Most of the US Carriers have Priority systems setup on the Cell Networks for Government Users. You either enter in a Prefix code on your phone, or your phone's SIM id is registered as a priority user.

Yes, there have been several studies and papers about what happens to networks during public emergencies. Look at the FCC NRIC (www.nric.org) and the US National Academies of Science. Unfortunately, in the USA at least, the government is fixated on trying to force a particular "solution" instead of trying to understand the different problems. Some people think pre-emption is the answer, and have hired numerous consultants to try to push it through any standards group they can find.
