As Hurricane Hone passes Hawaii, Verizon remains committed to
keeping communities and first responders connected. Verizon's
Response Team has prepared year-round to respond to extreme weather
situations, like hurricanes, by taking part in emergency drills,
fortifying the network infrastructure, and ensuring resources are
mobilized for rapid response.
“Our focus is on ensuring that when challenges arise, our
network stands strong to support first responders and keep people
connected with their loved ones and the essential information they
need to stay safe,” said Steven Keller, Pacific Market President
for Verizon.
Verizon’s Networks Are PrimedVerizon's networks
are primed to maintain connectivity even in the face of extreme
weather conditions, such as hurricanes. With redundancy built into
critical paths and components, Verizon's network is engineered to
withstand severe weather. Verizon engineers have prepared by
conducting thorough checks, ensuring backup systems like batteries
and generators are operational and refueled.
In readiness for network recovery operations, Verizon has
bolstered its arsenal with deployable assets including:
- A fleet of over 550 portable network assets, including
generator-powered cell sites, drones, and a fixed-wing aircraft for
aerial support.
- An industry-leading 300 satellite-based portable network
assets, providing crucial connectivity in scenarios where fiber
connections are compromised.
- More than 1,000 mobile generators to assist communities in
maintaining or restoring connectivity, and rapid recovery
efforts.
Verizon Frontline stands at the ready, prepared to
assist first responders in any capacity neededThe Verizon
Frontline Crisis Response Team stands ready to help ensure public
safety agencies on the front lines of any potential disaster
response operations have the mission-critical communications
capabilities they will need to achieve their missions. This team,
composed primarily of former first responders and military
personnel, is solely dedicated to supporting public safety
customers during emergencies at no cost to the supported agencies.
Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team members provide portable
cell sites, WiFi hotspots, drones, charging stations and other
Verizon Frontline devices and solutions that can help enable
mission-critical communication and/or boost network
performance.
In 2023, this team supported public safety agencies and the
communities they served during three major hurricanes: Hilary,
Idalia and Lee. Hurricane Idalia alone saw nearly 100 Verizon
Frontline solutions delivered to public safety agencies in Florida,
Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina as they dealt with the
aftermath of the storm. In the first seven months of 2024, the
Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team has responded to nearly 800
such requests from more than 400 different agencies in 44
states.
Verizon is Committed to its EmployeesAs part of
its commitment to its employees, Verizon supports its workforce
through initiatives like the VtoV Employee Relief Fund. First
