Federal Communications Commission Provides 24/7 Emergency 
Contact Information for Hurricane Irma
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will be available to address emergency 
communications needs twenty-four hours a day throughout weekends as Hurricane Irma approaches and 
threatens coastal areas in the United States to include U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. 
Virgin Islands.   
The FCC reminds emergency communications providers, including broadcasters, cable service providers, 
wireless and wireline service providers, satellite service providers, emergency response managers and 
first responders, and others needing assistance to initiate, resume, or maintain communications operations 
during the weekend, to contact the FCC Operations Center for assistance at 202-418-1122 or by e-mail at 
FCCOPCenter@fcc.gov.  
Consumers are reminded to directly report any communication service outages to their service providers.  
If consumers have any complaints as they relate to their service providers, they should access the FCC 
Consumer Complaints Center webpage at https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us on a 24-hour, 7
day a week basis.  In the alternative, from 8:00AM to 5:30PM Eastern Time, consumers can call the 
Consumer Complaints Center from at (888) 225-5322 (1-888-CALL-FCC).
