The FCC released a fairly thorough report on the
widespread 9-1-1 failure that followed the June 2012 “derecho” windstorm. For
those who don’t remember, the derecho differs from most weather events by
coming up almost without warning. According to the report, carriers had
approximately two hours of warning from the time the derecho started in the
Ohio Valley to when it hit the D.C. Metro region.
As a consequence of the damage done by the derecho, Northern
Virginia experienced a massive failure of its 9-1-1 network, leaving over 1
million people with working phones (at least in some places) but no access to
9-1-1. West Virginia experienced
systemic problems as well, as a did a scattering of locations in other states
impacted by the derecho. Verizon maintains the network in Northern Virginia,
while West Virginia is managed by Frontier.
