Cut cables disrupted Oakland 911 for more than 24 hours. How could this happen?
Questions remain over failed backup systems, whether critical cables were adequately protected and what Oakland can do to prevent another outage. Damage to AT&T fiber and copper lines disrupted several critical Oakland communications systems for over 24 hours, disrupting several critical systems for more than a day. The outage affected Oakland's 911 and non-emergency phone lines, the Fire Department’s 911 system, and internet and computer-aided dispatch software at OPD’S dispatch center. Questions remain about how the city’ 911 system failed and whether the affected AT&Ts lines should have been better protected. The police chief suggested that the damage may have involved more than an attempt to steal copper wiring. Disaster experts suggested that a major earthquake could disrupt communications systems if a major quake struck while the systems were down, which could pose a significant disruption similar to what happened in Oakland but on a larger scale.
