Best Practices for Broadcasters to Prepare for Natural Disasters

As many of you know, Chairman Ajit Pai appointed Pat Roberts to the Federal Communications Commission’s Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council VII (CSRIC) as Chair of one of its working groups. The group was tasked with recommending best practices for how broadcasters should prepare for natural disasters and develop additional ones that, if implemented, would improve the resiliency of broadcast infrastructure and allow for a more rapid recovery. Their report was presented and voted on, and I am glad to say it passed unanimously.
