Yes, there are a bunch of p2p mesh network apps. I don't know of any that have widespread adoption. I think Google and Apple should consider building a "disaster mode" into Android and iOS so that you are guaranteed to have it before you even need it.

Of course, governments won't like that, because it means that people will be able to continue communicating despite blackouts.
