Disaster roaming processing method and apparatus, device, and storage medium
By receiving broadcast information from Radio Access Technology (RAT), the terminal device can determine the disaster status and lift restrictions on the 4G network, thus resolving the communication interruption problem caused by 5G network failures, enabling 4G disaster roaming access, and maintaining the continuity of communication services.

AI Technical Summary
When a catastrophic event causes a 5G network failure, terminal devices are unable to access the 4G network for disaster roaming, resulting in a disruption of communication services.
The terminal device determines that the network is in a disaster state by receiving broadcast information from the Radio Access Technology (RAT), ignores the restrictions on the first RAT, activates or deactivates the disabled state of the RAT, and selects a combination of the first RAT and the network for access.
This enables terminal devices to access the 4G network for disaster roaming during 5G network failures, maintaining the continuity of communication services.
