OEC Case Study: Hurricane Irene Response in North Carolina

As part of our efforts to share the progress made by the Nation’s emergency response community in enhancing interoperable communications, the DHS Office of Emergency Communications is developing a series of case studies using real-world examples on how training and planning have made a difference in responding to natural disasters and other emergencies. Attached is a case study about how emergency communications training helped North Carolina emergency responders keep communication systems operational during Hurricane Irene in August 2011.

This is only one of several case studies under development, and we welcome your suggestions on other topics. If you have a real-world example that you would like to share, please contact OEC External Affairs at: OECExternalAffairs@hq.dhs.gov.

We appreciate all of the work you do to ensure our emergency communications capabilities help keep our country safe.
