As the first anniversary of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on the Carolinas approaches, a new technology called NextGen TV promises to prevent the communication blackouts that left entire counties in the dark.
During the hurricane, cell service was out for days, leaving thousands without critical updates. NextGen TV could change that by providing a more reliable way to receive information during emergencies.
The National News Desk’s Emma Withrow explained how this technology could be a game-changer in ensuring that residents remain informed and connected during future storms.
