AT&T Disaster Recovery – Customer Relief and Tips

10/6/2020

 
Picture
IF YOU ARE UNDER A DECLARED DISASTER WARNING, FIND SAFE SHELTER RIGHT AWAY. IF TOLD TO EVACUATE, DO SO IMMEDIATELY.
We are committed to keeping our customers connected – even in the wake of unpredictable, catastrophic events. Our Network Disaster Recovery (NDR) program is one of the largest, and most advanced of its kind. Its sole purpose – to rapidly restore communications to areas affected by disasters. We prepare our people and our network to ensure we can maintain vital communications for our customers and public safety before, during and after an event. ​
These efforts may include:
  • Reinforcing network facilities and preparing response equipment
  • Staging network recovery equipment in strategic locations to deploy quickly following any event to support connectivity for customers.
  • Preparing our stores to support customers who need to charge or use their devices, as well as deploying charging stations to local shelters if needed.
  • Deploying mobile cell sites to support wireless service in affected areas.
  • Assisting customers with devices at shelters and offering personalized customer account assistance at any open retail location.
​Tips to Prepare:
We know how critical communications are, especially during disasters and severe weather events. And just as we prepare, you should too. For our customers nationwide, please keep these tips and helpful information in mind:
  • If you’re in an area that is experiencing severe conditions but have not been told to evacuate, plan to stay indoors wherever you are, and share your location with friends and family.
  • Charge all wireless devices in the event you lose power.
  • Tune into your local news for the latest weather updates and emergency instructions.
  • Restock your emergency preparedness kit to include enough food and water for at least three days, medications, a flashlight, batteries, cash, and first aid supplies.
Learn more helpful disaster tips.
