Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for dynamically sensing and calculating the time remaining until a report of an interruption in cellular communications within specific areas must be made to an entity. Various regulations by different entities, whether the FCC, city, or state public safety organizations require reporting of cell phone outages according to their respective operational needs. The present embodiment provides techniques for dynamically calculating the time period remaining before reporting of an outage must be provided to a particular entity. A method is provided for receiving into the system the parameters for the regulation under consideration and an area of interest to be considered. The system will retrieve data from the various databases to determine whether or not the cellular service complies with the regulation under consideration. Calculations are dynamically made over time to determine if reporting under the regulation is needed.
