FCC Hurricane Response Update

Published: Oct. 16, 2017, 6 p.m.

Our last episode took a look at the devastating impacts of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. We ended that podcast by noting that, in the aftermath of such major weather events, a \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d approach often no longer applies for affected communications service providers. Now in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Nate, Associate Brad Currier provides a brief update on the FCC\u2019s most recent response efforts and highlights that such efforts may represent a \u201cnew normal\u201d of regulatory relief for those impacted by hurricanes and other disasters.
