The FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) has announced that it will conduct a voluntary exercise of the Disaster Information Reporting System (DIRS) from June 16 to June 18. The exercise is meant to help ensure that communications providers can access and file reports in the DIRS system and train new employees to become familiar with the DIRS reporting process. The Bureau requests that exercise participants provide their initial data sets by June 17, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. ET and file updated reports by June 18, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. ET. The Bureau will send a deactivation letter by June 18, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. ET to inform participants that the exercise has been completed.
