With Hurricane Ian expected to make landfall in the U.S. as a

Unlimited talk/text/dataIn anticipation of
Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida, for our consumer and
small business customers*, from September 28 through October 4,
Verizon is providing unlimited calling, texting and data to those
customers who reside in areas that will likely be most impacted by
the storm. Accounts with billing addresses in the following Florida
counties are included:
- Charlotte

Retail Store HoursBecause storm damage and
power outages may affect our normal store hours in certain areas,
we recommend shopping and accessing customer assistance online at
www.verizon.com or by using the MyVerizon app. If you’d rather
visit a store, you can find the nearest Verizon location and
schedule an appointment by visiting: www.verizon.com/stores.
Verizon Frontline Support for First
RespondersThe Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team is
standing by to provide mission-critical communications support to
public safety agencies responding to Hurricane Ian at no cost to
the supported agencies.
The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team provides on-demand,
emergency assistance during crisis situations to government
agencies, emergency responders, nonprofits and communities on a
24/7 basis. Verizon Frontline Response Team members set up portable
cell sites, WiFi hotspots, free charging stations and other Verizon
Frontline devices and solutions that enable communications and/or
boost network performance.
Here’s a quote you can use from one of our local
leaders:“Hurricane Ian has already disrupted the lives of
millions of Floridians,” said Shawn Alexander, consumer vice
president for Verizon. “We hope this offer gives our customers one
less thing to worry about so they can focus on staying safe.”
Verizon supports its employees in critical
timesThe VtoV Employee Relief Fund is a charity that
provides aid for Verizon employees displaced from their homes due
to natural disasters - such as fire, flood, hurricane, severe
weather - or domestic violence. Since its inception in 2013, VtoV
has provided over $4.8 Million in grants to more than 4,500 Verizon
employees around the world. The grants are used toward food,
clothing, shelter and other necessities during life-changing
disasters. In addition to the generosity our employees show in
support of their fellow V Teamers, Verizon Foundation offers a
generous matching gift program with 100% of every donation going
directly to help a V Teamer in need, because Verizon pays all
administrative fees.
*Verizon small business customers include customers with 50
lines or less.
