Looking for on-line resource for outages information

[drichter12]

Does anyone know of a site where information related to large scale (statewide/regional) telecom outages are tracked? I currently have about 10 sites down in MO due to what I am being told is a statewide outage there and would like to be able to track this information rather than waiting for updates from individual carriers.

Thanks in advance.

I do not have a site with info, but as an FYI I was told that Sprint is having issues in that area. I believe it is their Wireless side, but it may extend to other stuff, including wireless data.

I have found that you can often times find information about outages on the forums at

http://www.dslreports.com.

Also, I believe the service providers have to file FCC reports for outages of certain types. Search the fcc.gov for info...

You could try this site:

They have just about every kind of large-scale disaster, everything from tornadoes to "mass death of animals". I've never seen communications disasters listed, but it's worth a shot if the issue ever comes up again.
