As prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: September 17, 2017 11:30 a.m. Communications Status Report for Areas Impacted by Hurricane Irma September 17, 2017 The following is a report on the status of communications services in geographic areas impacted by Hurricane Irma as of September 17, 2017 at 11:00 AM EDT. This report incorporates network outage data submitted by communications providers to the Federal Communications Commission’s Disaster Information Reporting System (DIRS). DIRS is currently activated for all counties in Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands. On September 14, DIRS was deactivated for all counties in Alabama, Georgia and Puerto Rico. Note that the operational status of communications services during a disaster may evolve rapidly, and this report represents a snapshot in time. It should also be noted that not all communications providers have reported in DIRS, so some outage information may not be complete. The following counties are in the geographic area that was covered by the DIRS activation as of this morning (the “disaster area”).
