Got a contingency plan for men with guns showing up at your cubicle and ordering you to re-route traffic to please the government?
Section 606 of the 1934 Communications Act provides for government takeover of wired and radio communication in the event of war or "other national emergency".
I'm not saying anything will happen in the next few days. Trump's state of emergency might be just talk. It might be limited to its stated purpose. It's rare for actual disasters to happen.
You've got a disaster recovery plan (DRP), though. If it's not in the next few days, a "national emergency" problem might show up sometime down the road. Does your DRP cover it?
It's hard to imagine a technical solution. This may require the company lawyer to prepare a [Layer 8] contingency plan in advance.

I remember how excited everybody was when we elected the first female president. I was not old enough to vote at the time, but I was with her, as the slogan went.
We have to remember that even though she approved the first strike on N-day, a presidential administration is not just one woman. She was surrounded by men, and men have shown throughout history that they have no problem salting... or irradiating... the Earth.
I had hoped that I would be able to find evidence that might rehabilitate her in 2042, perhaps something that was buried and then lost on N-day. EMPs are not gentle on digital data. A timeline complete with all of the major events that many people blame Clinton for personally, without her being involved, is more than I could have hoped for.
Keep a spare gas can. Things do get better, but they will get worse first.
