CALIFORNIA – Verizon announced, September 16, that they donated $25,000 to the American Red Cross Los Angeles Region in effort to support the communities affected by the ongoing wildfires.

The company says the donation aims to aid those displaced by the fires.

“Verizon is committed to supporting communities in times of crisis. We hope our donation to the American Red Cross will provide essential aid and offer hope during this challenging time,” said Verizon Pacific Market President Steven Keller.

Keeping customers connected during emergencies

Verizon says they are committed to keeping customers in San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside and Los Angeles counties connected, especially during emergencies and disaster relief efforts.

In Louisiana, the company recently waived postpaid domestic call/text/data usage to residents most impacted by Hurricane Francine.

Verizon says they have a fleet of over 550 mobile assets, including drone and aerial technologies, to deliver connectivity.

Frontline Crisis Response Team

The company says their Frontline Crisis Response Team continues its support of first responders on the front lines of fire response and containment operations in California.

“This year alone, the team has delivered nearly 800 Verizon Frontline solutions to active fire camps across the state to help provide federal, state and local public safety agencies with mission-critical voice and data service as they continue to battle these devastating blazes,” reads a statement on the news release.

Verizon says they provide on-demand, emergency assistance during crisis situations to government agencies and emergency responders on a 24/7 basis at no cost to the supported agencies.
