What changed
The FCC has narrowed the scope of disaster reporting for Super Typhoon Sinlaku by deactivating the emergency reporting requirements that were in place for Guam. The active disaster reporting period has ended, relieving carriers of real-time reporting obligations during the emergency phase.
Affected carriers should ensure they complete and submit required MDRI After Action Reports documenting their network performance, service restoration efforts, and any challenges encountered during the typhoon response period. Carriers should monitor FCC channels for any further guidance on report formatting and submission deadlines.
