[CU] infrastructure 7.0 — Internet outage detected: Cuba

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS BRIEFING

Event Status: Internet outage detected across Cuba as of 1350 UTC 17 May 2026. Scope and specific affected regions remain unconfirmed. This represents a nationwide connectivity disruption affecting both commercial and infrastructure networks. Current cause and estimated restoration time unknown.

Operational Relevance: WFM operations with presence in Cuba should assess exposure across: remote workforce communication (VoIP, messaging systems), cloud-dependent scheduling and tracking platforms, payment/timekeeping systems reliant on internet connectivity, and coordination with supplier/client networks. Local transportation and facility operations may face disruptions if dependent on digital traffic management. Teams may experience degraded visibility into real-time workforce status. Consider whether backup communication protocols and offline operational capability exist for critical functions.
