FCC Expands DIRS and MDRI Scope to Include Guam for Super Typhoon Sinlaku

The FCC has expanded the geographic scope of the Disaster Information Reporting System and the Multi-Notification Disaster Recovery Initiative to include Guam as an affected area for Super Typhoon Sinlaku. DIRS is a voluntary system that allows communications providers to report their status during disasters, while MDRI facilitates coordination and notification among affected entities.\n\nCommunications providers operating in Guam should monitor FCC guidance regarding DIRS participation and emergency reporting procedures. This expansion indicates FCC is actively monitoring the storm's impact on telecommunications infrastructure in the Pacific territory and is providing a framework for industry coordination during the disaster response.
