Disaster Clearinghouse

NTCA's Disaster Relief Clearinghouse is designed to identify, foster support for and provide assistance to members affected by natural disasters.

If your telco or a member company you know of has been touched by this disaster and is in need of supplies, please use the form below to help us identify those needs.

If we receive any requests for supplies, we will post them here. Please check back to this site periodically - your resources may assist your fellow members in their struggle to return essential communications service in their communities.

Affected telcos may also contact the FCC to request emergency special temporary authorizations online. Alternatively, companies may contact the FCC’s Communications Center to reach FCC officials during non-business hours.
