PRESS RELEASE (POSTED 9/11)

Bellevue, Washington - September 11, 2018 - 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.
  • Siempre y cuando sea seguro que se mantengan abiertas, nuestras tiendas y otros centros están preparados para ayudar a los clientes y empleados afectados. They will have water, mobile generators, device charging stations, car and wall chargers and other supplies available.
  • Monitoreamos atentamente las necesidades de la comunidad luego de la tormenta para asegurarnos de que estamos haciendo todo lo que podemos para ayudar.


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.
