The FCC reminds broadcasters, cable operators, wired or wireless service providers who need to contact the FCC about any Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy-related emergency communications issues that the FCC operations center is available Sunday, Oct. 28.

The phone number is 202-418-1122 or email at FCCOPCenter@fcc.gov.

The FCC has also released a tip sheet on communicating during national disasters "to assist people to be aware of their communications options - through nine easy measures -- so they can effectively seek to maintain communications during an emergency situation."

No. 9 on that list: "Tune-in to broadcast and radio news for important news alerts."
