I would agree with Fred.  whether we use the term Preferential or  
Prioritized (my personal favorite :), I believe we gain something by  
focusing on the core of what one wants to accomplish.

Emergency/disaster can then used to provide further context on what  
some interested parties wish to address given an ability to provide  
or use preferential/prioritized service.

my 2 cents,
