In the 1989 Loma Prieta quake the phone system did not collapse.  Remember, I 
was working in the call center business at the time.  Secondly, 2-way did not 
collapse, either.  Now, I'm not making any bets that the trunked systems in 
use now won't collapse since they're dependent on central coordination that 
wasn't needed when simple 2-way was the norm.  

Given that the CHP still uses the "old fashioned" 2-way technology, I'd say 
that they'd survive just fine, as will small local companies and whatnot.

This didn't happen in Loma Prieta, even though the entirety of SF lost power 
for 36 hours.
