Hello Foggy,
Sad to hear this. I had a close encounter as well, when I was doing application for INSEAD and got the news that my company is going to lay off 3 Managers out of 9 in my department in 15 days. Though luckily I survived, I can totally relate to stress situation brings in. Hang on there buddy, my advice would be to stick to your long term plan.
To answer your question, No there is no obligation to notify schools after your applications but indeed you can spin it off in your interviews. What I learned is that it all depends on your story. How you connect all the dots and how truly you can portray yourself without faking. As you mentioned, you will be helping one of your friends, that is a pretty good way to spend rest of your time before starting school. I have seen people, who after getting admitted leave their current job and do a short stint of what they like. Again, it depends on how everything fits in the story and do not leave any stone unturned.
Your score looks solid. I would like to know more about your profile. Would be happy to help you and share my daunting experience of 15 days. But looking back, Had I gotten fired, I know it would not have mattered, provided that I got admitted to INSEAD. Hope this helps.
You can schedule a free 1:1 session with me at https://calendly.com/shantanu-sharma-1
