what you are referring to is the nagios business process 
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F1366.html;d=1

It has the capability to send notification based of a business wide implications , however it does 
not over ride the notifications from nagios for each service individually.

if those network outages occur in similar times - you can set the alerts not to be sent on the
