Our teams have been prepping for Hurricane Helene and we have restoration crews on standby. Our disaster recovery teams are prepared to deploy a fleet of network equipment to affected areas, as soon as it's safe to do so.
Although Hurricane Helene has not officially made landfall, outer bands of this powerful storm have already caused commercial power outages and some storm damage, resulting in limited impacts to both our wireless and wireline network in parts of Florida and Georgia.
We continue to monitor for potential network impacts in the projected storm path, including Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Our FirstNet liaisons are in contact with federal, state and local officials regarding our deployment efforts to support public safety and the communities in impacted areas. The FirstNet Response Operations Group™ (ROG) is prepared to deploy additional dedicated FirstNet assets at the request of public safety to further support their emergency communications.
Updates will be posted to this page throughout the storm and during our recovery work. Our focus remains on keeping our employees safe and our customers, first responders and communities connected.
