NCS, Partners Support Flood Relief Communications in North Dakota
The National Coordinating Center (NCC) for Communications, part of the NCS, hosted daily government and industry conference calls and maintained 24x7 watch operations that facilitated coordination between the Federal Government, the communications sector, and emergency communications officials in FEMA Regions V and VIII. Support included coordinating with regional officials
for industry access to protect telecommunications facilities potentially
impacted by flood waters, confirming logistics for fuel delivery
to communications facilities in the event of extended power outages
and flood limited facility access, and sharing industry status and
actions such as pre-staging of communications equipment (cellular
on wheels) and managing wireless bandwidth in areas to improve wireless
access. Questions or comments concerning this site? Please contact the webmaster. |
