Hurricane Response in the Tech Age
According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, over the 39-year period from 1979-2017, the number of major hurricanes has increased.
AT&T is committed to keeping its customers and FirstNet® subscribers connected during the upcoming hurricane season. With more than 30 years of experience responding to large-scale events, AT&T has proven time and time again that it is ready and prepared to restore and maintain service if disaster strikes.
AT&T’s fleet of disaster recovery equipment can be quickly deployed before, during and after any storm. This includes a newer 45-foot custom-built landing craft, capable of transporting trucks, network assets and other solutions. Plus, public safety agencies on FirstNet—the only network built with and for America’s first responders—also have 24/7 access to a dedicated nationwide fleet of more than 180 deployable network assets, helping them connect to the critical information they need.
“We understand how vital it is for our customers to stay connected before, during and after severe weather events,” said Corey Anthony, SVP, Engineering & Operations, AT&T. “We’ve worked to build a consistent track record over the years in responding to major storms and other natural disasters. We’re confident in our network, our employees and our performance. And with FirstNet, where public safety goes, we go—helping ensure first responders have the reliable communications they need to effectively coordinate and communicate their disaster response.”
