Verizon providing free charging/wifi to residents impacted by Hurricane Ian
03 Octobre 2022 - 07:38PM
To help victims of Hurricane Ian stay connected to family, friends
and other important contacts, Wireless Emergency Communication
Centers (WECC) have been deployed by Verizon in areas of
Southwestern Florida impacted by the storm.
Wireless Emergency Communication Centers are generator-powered
mobile units that have device charging and computer workstations,
along with wireless phones, tablets and other devices to contact
friends, family and other important contacts over Verizon’s
network. WECCs have been deployed to the following locations:
- Port Charlotte Town Center Mall, 1441 Tamiami Trail, Port
Charlotte, FL (open daily 10:00am - 6:00pm)
- 2525 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach, FL (open beginning Oct 4.
8:00am - 5:00pm)
The WECCs will be open daily with teams of technicians available
to troubleshoot and charge up wireless phone batteries that
survived the storm and/or have lost power and will provide wifi to
help any customer of any carrier stay connected.
“Many Southwest Florida residents have been completely cut off
from their loved ones and other important contacts such as their
insurance companies, so the ability to make a call is invaluable,”
said Shawn Alexander, Consumer Vice President for Verizon. “We’re
proud to be able to support the community during this difficult
time.”
