I think there's something else to make note of.
NCS wants to make sure that a number of the ISPs and critical
infrastructure operators have WPS/GETS available to the people who
rightly need them. If you're not sure, give them a ring and chat with
them about what resources you should have at your disposal. If there
is a major communication disruption, this may help your operations
team communicate.
You can fill out the forms online at gets.ncs.gov
