Federal Communications Commission adopted a new storm response playbook.

The Mandatory Disaster Response Initiative requires wireless providers to help each other during natural disasters.

The FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel visited Harris County leaders last week to discuss how this new policy played out during Beryl.

She said there was evidence from local 9-1-1 centers that wireless providers were assisting one another.
