DALLAS, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today
announced that the company has mobilized significant resources for the
restoration of communications and customer support across Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi and Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav. Nearly 2,000 AT&T
personnel, including employees from half a dozen states in the Southeast, have
been deployed to the affected area to assess damage and help expedite
restoration efforts. Additional resources are at the ready and will be
deployed as needed.
The company's wireless and wireline networks continue to perform well.
Although high winds and rain affected some wireless cell sites, the majority
of sites are functioning normally and customers are able to complete calls,
send and receive text messages, access e-mail and connect to the Internet.
AT&T's top priority is to restore affected sites to full capacity as quickly
and safely as possible.
There continues to be some service outages in hard-hit areas of Louisiana,
and crews are working around the clock to repair the damage and reroute the
traffic.
In an effort to help residents stay in touch with family and friends
during this emergency, AT&T is making emergency communications resources
available, including:
-- Enabling free Wi-Fi access at hundreds of hot spots in Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, including at select McDonald's restaurants,
Barnes & Noble locations and AT&T Experience Store(SM) locations, among
others.
-- Providing free wireless GoPhones with $15 in air time to thousands of
evacuees from mandatory evacuation areas who are sheltered in affected areas
in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and south Texas.
-- Providing free phone calls for hurricane victims at all open
company-owned retail locations across Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
portions of northwest Florida, including Pensacola, Fort Walton and Destin.
-- Installing phone banks and DSL connections for free use by evacuees who
are sheltered in San Antonio.
The vast majority of AT&T wireless customers, including prepaid customers,
never pay for roaming. As a result, AT&T wireless customers in the impacted
areas who have evacuated can use their wireless phone as they would in their
hometown with no additional roaming fees.
In addition to emergency communications resources, AT&T is encouraging its
customers to sent $5 donations to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund
by sending a text message from their mobile phones. A customer simply types
the keyword GIVE to 2HELP (24357). A confirmation message will arrive within a
few minutes, and the customer then replies YES to confirm his or her donation.
Before the arrival of Hurricane Gustav, AT&T added capacity to its
wireless network to accommodate an increase in traffic and pre-staged
equipment and personnel so the company could immediately respond to affected
areas. Crews are working around the clock to repair damage and reroute
traffic, where necessary.
At the same time, the company is taking steps to prepare equipment and
facilities for a potential strike by Tropical Storm Hanna, which could
threaten the Southeastern coast of the United States. The company is
identifying areas for the staging of equipment for post-storm response,
testing high-capacity backup batteries and topping off fuel for generators
positioned at cell sites and switching centers.
