The FCC has released its report and analysis of Hurricane Michael impact on communications: preparation, effect and recovery. https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-releases-report-communication-impacts-hurri... Conclusions and Recommendations 51. Backhaul outages loomed large as an impediment to communications recovery. Uncoordinated post-storm recovery efforts between and among communications, utility, and debris removal teams created unnecessary delays to a speedy return to service. Customers who had communications service restored – only to lose it again almost immediately because of a fiber cut – provide a clear example of how better cross-sector coordination could have improved the restoration process.
