yes, bitcoin is usable in any situation where you have at least - let's say EDGE or ADSL1 speed, comfortably.
EMPs are unlikely to disrupt more than one city at a time. carrington event can knock out much of the satellites and above ground copper and unshielded infra but underground, undersea, shielded, hard wired stuff probably stays up and within days many others resume using standby redundant systems.
it could happen that bitcoin was not usable for a few days to a week in a place in a really extreme situation (carrington event) but these are century or more between.
