AT&T Stores in Metro New York, New Jersey are Open for Business After Record-Breaking Snowfall

As the region digs out from the record-breaking snowfall, AT&T* retail locations in metro New York and New Jersey are operating business as usual to assist customers with all of their wireless communication needs. “Our specially trained sales team can help customers find vital accessories like car chargers and extra batteries in case there is a loss of power and cases to help keep devices dry,” said Tom DeVito, vice president and general manager of AT&T in New York and New Jersey. “Having a family communications plan, access to weather forecasts and charged wireless devices can help you stay connected to your world even when Old Man Winter visits.” 

AT&T monitors and maintains its networks 24/7 and conducts readiness drills throughout the year to ensure that the networks and personnel are ready to respond to a weather emergency.

AT&T’s wireless network preparations include:

• Testing the high-capacity backup batteries located at every cell site.
• Maintaining a robust backup power plan, which include deploying extended battery life and portable generators, and maintaining existing fixed generators.
• Topping off generators with fuel at cell sites and central and field-level switching facilities.
• Staging mobile cell sites and portable generators in safe locations for their immediate deployment once a storm has passed.

AT&T representatives at any of its metro New York and New Jersey retail store locations can provide additional tips for charging extra cell phone batteries and learning to text. More information on AT&T’s disaster preparedness can be found at www.att.com/vitalconnections.
