ALPHARETTA, Ga., May 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia is vulnerable to storms and hurricanes that form in the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and with hurricanes comes possible tornadoes and severe flooding. With the 2015 hurricane season officially underway as of June 1, Georgians should be preparing an emergency communication plan to keep their families safe and in touch during any severe weather event.
Verizon Wireless, the nation's largest wireless carrier, offers these tips to keep in touch and out of danger during storm season:
According to a survey conducted by Ready Georgia in April 2014, one-third of Georgians report they have personally experienced a large-scale disaster. Additionally, 70 percent of Georgia residents believe they have a duty to help each other during an emergency. One simple way to accomplish this is to keep lines of communication open for emergency situations and first responders. Once a storm is on the way, Verizon Wireless suggests the following tips for enhanced emergency communications and safety:
"Georgia regularly faces many types of natural disasters year round including hurricanes, tornadoes, severe storms, wildfires and floods. Wireless technology can help people stay prepared and safe in a storm. It is critical for Georgians to remain vigilant and be prepared," said Jonathan LeCompte, president of Verizon Wireless' Georgia/Alabama Region.
Over the course of 2014, Verizon Wireless invested more than $227 million in network enhancements across Georgia including 145 new cell sites across the Peach State and the continued rollout of the company's XLTE technology. The company's ongoing network investment in Georgia now totals more than $2.5 billion since the company was formed in 2000.
"We have a relentless focus on providing our customers with the most reliable network possible. No matter what is happening, be it large scale events or natural disasters, Georgians expect our network to deliver," said LeCompte.
