T1 IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURES. During the restoration of service after a disaster, BellSouth may be forced to aggregate traffic for delivery to a CLEC. During this process, T1 traffic may be consolidated onto DS3s and may become unidentifiable to the Carrier. Because resources will be limited, BellSouth may be forced to "package" this traffic entirely differently then normally received by the CLECs. Therefore, a method for identifying the T1 traffic on the DS3s and providing the information to the Carriers is required.

Information centers will be set up throughout BellSouth Telecommunications. These centers are not intended to be used for escalations, but rather to keep the CLEC informed of network related issues, area damages and dispatch conditions, etc. Hurricane-related information can also be found on line at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/network/disaster/dis_resp.htm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Information concerning Mechanized Disaster Reports can also be found at this website by clicking on CURRENT MDR REPORTS or by going directly to xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/network/disaster/mdrs.htm. ------------------------------------------------------------------ BST Disaster Management Plan
