First responders count on resilient networks to get the job done.
When Hurricane Harvey engulfed Texas in 2017, Verizon put our networks, equipment, and people at the backs of your first responders. To aid in recovery efforts, we brought in 200+ network professionals, 3,305 consumer devices, and over 80,000 gallons of fuel.
Our commitment to your first responders remains strong — learn more about how we help put Houston in a secure and productive position for emergency services.
