The Wireless Industry Responds to Hurricane Florence .

As Hurricane Florence approached the Mid-Atlantic – wireless carriers pre-staged equipment, fuel and emergency teams, helping to ensure that critical wireless coverage remained largely intact for millions of people impacted by the storm, as well as emergency responders.

Hurricane Florence affected wide areas of the Mid-Atlantic with historic rainfall and flooding, causing thousands of people across the region to seek emergency shelter and tens of billions of dollars in property damage and loss.

Yet, millions of people used wireless to call and text loved ones and connect with emergency personnel through social media, and carriers offered free data, text, voice and credits to consumers across the region. In addition to services on the ground, carriers pledged millions of dollars to relief efforts.
