Category: Cingular Wireless Offers Hurricane Tips as Katrina Heads for Gulf Coast -Network Stands Ready To Weather The Storm-- "Wireless phones are the only line of communication for many people during and after hurricanes," said Joe Larussa, vice president/general manager, Cingular Wireless, Alabama/NW Florida/Mississippi/Louisiana. "We are prepared and our network stands strong as Hurricane Katrina threatens the Gulf Coast."
Cingular offers consumers these important tips in preparation for the storm:
- Program all emergency contact numbers into your wireless phone. Store
numbers for the police department, fire station, hospital, as well as
your family members so you don't have to think about it during and
after an emergency.
- Have a family communications plan in place. Designate someone out of
the area as a central contact, and make certain all family members know
who to contact if they become separated.
- Keep your wireless phone batteries charged at all times. Have an
alternate plan to recharge your battery in case of power outages.
- Keep your wireless phone dry and protected.
- Forward your home number to your wireless number in the event of an
evacuation.
- Check live weather and news reports available on many wireless phones
with services such as MobiTV and My Cast.
