The networks give priority to the emergency services in a situation like this. I believe the people who bombed Madrid last year used cell phones to trigger the bombs, so you have to take that into account. The intelligence agencies would also be monitoring more heavily than normal. I had no trouble phoning around to find out about people, and to let people know I was not affected.
