Sprint with extensive preparations for Hurricane Harvey
With Hurricane Harvey threatening heavy rainfall in Texas and parts of Louisiana, Sprint has made extensive preparations to help keep its wireless customers connected. Some of the measures Sprint has taken to prepare include:
- Investing millions of dollars in new cell site equipment, back-up batteries and greater fiber backhaul across Gulf Coast states like Louisiana and Texas.
- Utilizing established Disaster Recovery yards throughout the region to store and stage assets for response during an event.
- Performing routine maintenance checks and fueling fixed and portable generators in the event of commercial power fails.
- Pre-staging vehicles and crews across Texas in anticipation of the storm.
- Standing ready to deploy incident management teams, as needed, to assess impacted areas and inspect local wireless networks after the event.
- Additionally, Sprint stores in Texas are offering discounted charging accessories in areas impacted by the storm.
Customers can check the Sprint Store Locator to confirm which stores near them are open. It is recommended that customers first call the store to verify it is open and check the local conditions before traveling to stores.
Sprint Emergency Response Team
Sprint’s Emergency Response Team has activated its Disaster Support Program which allows for state and local government agencies, in states that have issued a proclamation for a State of Emergency in anticipation of Hurricane Harvey, to request up to 25 mobile devices, with up to 14 days of service from the date of declaration, free of charge to these agencies.
In addition, Sprint ERT maintains approximately 10,000 devices in its inventory. Other government, tribal, non-governmental, healthcare and private sector organizations requiring temporary equipment, such as handsets and mobile broadband devices, that do not qualify for the Disaster Support Program, can request additional temporary use equipment and service through Sprint ERT’s rental program.
Storm Preparation Tips
To help wireless consumers prepare for a storm this season, Sprint offers these tips to help ensure residents in the path of Hurricane Harvey stay safe:
- Keep wireless phones and backup batteries charged, but be aware that an interruption of wireline and commercial power could affect wireless calls.
- If possible, have extra batteries on hand and charged.
- In times of commercial power outages, a car adapter for your wireless phone should enable you to recharge the battery.
- Keep phones and necessary accessories in a sealed plastic bag to avoid water damage during flooding.
- Load family and emergency numbers into your wireless phone.
- Use your Sprint camera phone to take digital pictures or video of your property and valuables before the storm hits. Upload the images to your cloud so you have “before” pictures in the event of any storm damage.
- Wireless networks sometimes experience heavy traffic during emergency events, so remember to send a text message.
