   It is no question that our society is increasingly   
   connectivity-reliant, especially over the last decade. So when natural   
   disasters occur—whether a hurricane, tornado or earthquake—their fears   
   are exacerbated by wireless network outages that cut off their ability   
   to call or text loved ones to check on their safety.   
      
   However, the real danger of these downed networks is inhibiting   
   communication among first responders who are tasked with coordinating   
   efforts to protect these individuals. Thankfully, efforts from the FCC   
   and mobile carriers to get wireless up and running faster than ever   
   before ensure that this isn’t the problem it once was a decade ago.
