FCC Demands Daily Network Check-Ins During Every Disaster
Published Date: 1/21/2025
Rule
Summary
The FCC now requires cable, wireless, wireline, and VoIP providers to report their network status every day during disasters using a special system called DIRS. Providers must keep reporting even if nothing changes and send a final update within 24 hours after the disaster ends. This helps keep communication networks strong and reliable when we need them most, with clear deadlines and no extra reporting hassle.
