T Mobile US : Mobile Prepares for Hurricane Florence; Moniors Oher Sorms

As Hurricane Florence increases in intensity on its path toward the East Coast of the U.S., T-Mobile is actively making preparations to take care of customers and employees who may be impacted. A few efforts underway:

• Our engineering and rapid response teams are positioned to quickly activate emergency equipment such as fuel trucks, mobile Cell on Wheels (COWs) and back-up power solutions, including portable generators, as soon as the storm begins to impact the area.
• As long as it's safe for them to remain open, our stores and other facilities are prepared to help customers and impacted employees. They will have water, mobile generators, device charging stations, car and wall chargers and other supplies available.
• We'll closely monitor the needs of the community in the aftermath of the storm to ensure that we're doing everything we can to help.

Hurricane Florence is expected to cause widespread tree damage, power outages and flooding -- all of which could contribute to network outages. We encourage customers to follow those evacuation orders to ensure their safety and minimize risk of service disruption.

We are also closely tracking Hurricane Isaac, which is threatening Puerto Rico, and Hurricane Olivia, which is gaining strength and tracking toward Hawaii. We encourage customers in those areas to monitor the storms and follow any community safety orders issued by local authorities.

If you are in an area that could potentially be impacted, we encourage you to charge devices and backup power packs now while power is intact.
