Any local government that was serious about emergency commo would have contacted the local Ham operator oganization.

Most areas have a chapter somewhere near. They practice on Ham Days where they take their gear out in a field somewhere and set up emergency trasmitting sites.

Any long term planning would take their services into account. One big set-up in the local Emergengy HQ and smaller sets to tie in the outer areas. The central station could be used to tie the local area to the state HQ.

No ham here

Edit to add - around here they are used near the coast after hurricanes.
