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.
