As prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: October 02, 2017 11:30 a.m. Communications Status Report for Areas Impacted by Hurricane Maria October 3, 2017 The following is a report on the status of communications services in geographic areas impacted by Hurricane Maria as of October 03, 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 Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 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 some communications providers have not yet reported in DIRS, so outage information almost certainly is not complete. The following counties are in the geographic area that was covered by the DIRS activation as of this morning (the “disaster area”). Puerto Rico: Adjuntas, Aguada, Aguadilla, Aguas Buenas, Aibonito, Anasco, Arecibo, Arroyo, Barceloneta, Barranquitas, Bayamon, Cabo Rojo, Caguas, Camuy, Canovanas, Carolina, Catano, Cayey, Ceiba, Ciales, Cidra, Coamo, Comerio, Corozal, Culebra, Dorado, Fajardo, Florida, Guanica, Guayama, Guayanilla, Guaynabo, Gurabo, Hatillo, Hormigueros, Humacao, Isabela, Jayuya, Juana Diaz, Juncos, Lajas, Lares, Las Marias, Las Piedras, Loiza, Luquillo, Manati, Maricao, Maunabo, Mayaguez, Moca, Morovis, Naguabo, Naranjito, Orocovis, Patillas, Penuelas, Ponce, Quebradillas, Rincon, Rio Grande, Sabana Grande, Salinas, San German, San Juan, San Lorenzo, San Sebastian, Santa Isabel, Toa Alta, Toa Baja, Trujillo Alto, Utuado, Vega Alta, Vega Baja, Vieques, Villalba, Yabucoa and Yauco U.S. Virgin Islands: St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas 911 Services The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) learns the status of each Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) through the filings of 911 Service Providers in DIRS, reporting to the FCC’s Public Safety Support Center (PSSC), coordination with state 911 Administrators, and, if necessary, from individual PSAPs. The main PSAP in Puerto Rico is offline. 911 calls are being sent to the other (back-up) PSAP in Puerto Rico, according to the primary service provider. In the U.S. Virgin Islands, the St. Croix 9-1-1 Call Center has been reported as completely down. FEMA has reported significant damage to the building. The St. Thomas 9-1-1 Call Center is unable to retrieve Phase I and Phase II location information for wireless callers and ANI/ALI for VoIP Callers. As prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: October 02, 2017 11:30 a.m. Wireless Services The following section describes the status of wireless communications services and restoration in the disaster area, including the percentage of cell sites out of service for each county. The following map of the disaster area illustrates which counties in Puerto Rico are most affected: The information shown was provided by the signatories to the Wireless Resiliency Cooperative Framework and several additional companies that agreed to allow us to include their data in the aggregated data: Puerto Rico: Overall, 87.9% (virtually no change from 88.3% yesterday) of cell sites are out of service. All counties in Puerto Rico, except Bayamon, Guaynabo, and San Juan, have greater than 75% of their cell sites out of service. 33 (up from 27 yesterday) out of the 78 counties in Puerto Rico have 100% of their cell sites out of service. As prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: October 02, 2017 11:30 a.m. U.S. Virgin Islands: Overall, 67.0% (down from 68.9% yesterday) of cell sites are out of service. 100% of cell sites in St. John are still out of service. The tables below provide the percentage of cell sites out of service by county per state or territory. Counties highlighted in red have 100% of their cell sites out of service.

THOMAS 55 32 58.2% TOTAL 106 71 67.0% Cable Systems and Wireline (Combined) As prepared by the Federal Communications Commission: October 02, 2017 11:30 a.m. Since there are widespread power outages in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the FCC has received reports that large percentages of consumers are without either cable services or wireline service (one company had reported that 100% of its consumers are out of service due to lack of commercial power but told us yesterday that services are beginning to be restored). In Puerto Rico, there are at least 10 (same as yesterday) switches that are out of service due to either SS7 or toll isolation. Broadcast TV stations out of service: WIPR in San Juan, PR and WIPM in Mayaguez, PR are reported as being out of service in DIRS. WKAQ-TV is reported as being on the air. Radio stations out of service: WQBS, WCMN-FM, WMIO, WPRM-FM, WNEL, WPRP, WIPR-FM, WZAR and WUNO (all in Puerto Rico) are reported as being out of service in DIRS. Based on informal reports earlier, it appears the following radio and televisions stations are operational in Puerto Rico: AM: WKAQ 580, WPAB 550, WIPR 940, WAPA 680, WISO 1260, WTIL 1300, WKUM 1470, WMDD 1480, WDEP 1490, WALO 1240, WSJN 1320, WXEW 840, WEXS 1070, WMIA 610 FM: 91.9, 94.7, 95.7, 96.1, 97.7, 104.1, 104.7, 106.9 TV: Telemundo virtual Ch.2 UHF 28 is on the air.
