Our wireless network experienced minimal impact following Friday night’s devastation. Using real-time information provided by the AT&T Weather Operations Center (AWOC), the FirstNet team with AT&T and the AT&T Network Disaster Recovery team quickly created response plans. By Saturday afternoon, our service was operating normally.
We’re providing additional on-the-ground communications to support the recovery work underway. The FirstNet Response Operations Group (ROG) – led by former first responders – continues to work around the clock to support public safety’s emergency communications and has liaisons engaged with local and state emergency management agencies.
“Friday’s tornado was up there with some of the most destructive and long-lived tornadoes the AT&T Weather Operations Center has seen,” said John Sisak, AT&T Principal Meteorologist. “We tracked it in real-time for over 150 miles and over four hours, staying in close communication with emergency response and FirstNet teams – identifying communities impacted and soon to be in its path.”
Our team of meteorologists continues to monitor for more rounds of severe weather, keeping us at the ready to provide any additional support needed to best serve our customers, first responders and communities.
