1. A device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
identify a first User Equipment (“UE”) that is associated with a first home facility that is associated with a first geographical location;
identify a second UE that is associated with a second home facility that is associated with a second geographical location;
determine an occurrence of a particular event associated with a third geographical location;
associate, based on the first geographical location with which the first home facility is associated and further based on the third geographical location with which the event is associated, the first UE with a particular category;
associate, based on a geographical location with which the second UE is associated and further based on the third geographical location with which the event is associated, the second UE with the particular category; and
instruct, based on determining the occurrence of the event, a radio access network (“RAN”) to modify a radio frequency (“RF”) resource allocation associated with the particular category, wherein the first and second UEs receive wireless service via the RAN according to the modified RF resource allocation based on being associated with the particular category.
