23 Septembre 2022 - 8:34PM
Today, Verizon announced support for recovery efforts across Puerto
Rico following the devastating impact of Hurricane Fiona. The
company has committed $100,000 to the American Red Cross to help
assist disaster relief efforts in Puerto Rico, where Hurricane
Fiona caused disastrous flooding and has left a majority of
communities without power or water.
“Verizon stands ready to support first responders, our customers
and employees impacted by this catastrophic hurricane,” said Hans
Vestberg, Chairman and CEO of Verizon. “We will continue to partner
with disaster relief organizations, like the American Red Cross, to
provide resources and care for the people in our society who are
the most vulnerable.”
Verizon customers can help the American Red Cross in their
disaster relief efforts through mobile giving, which will be added
to their Verizon Wireless bill and donated to American Red Cross
upon confirmation of the billing zip code.
