NEW YORK, June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Severe storms tore
through much of Verizon's Mid-Atlantic region June 23-24, knocking down trees and affecting
power for thousands.
Verizon has mobilized its employees and resources and has
deployed repair technicians to the hardest hit areas across
Delaware, Maryland, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Virginia.
We're also in close contact with power companies and other
agencies to coordinate any needed restoration efforts. For safety
reasons, power lines must be repaired before Verizon technicians
can start their repair work.
Verizon customers can visit www.verizon.com/outage to
report service-related issues, receive alerts, request repair and
find helpful service-related FAQs. They also can contact Verizon at
1-800-VERIZON (800-837-4966). Customers should not assume that we
know their service is affected.
Small business customers can visit
www.verizon.com/bizoutage. Medium business and enterprise
customers should contact their regular customer service centers or
account teams, as needed. Enterprise customers can also access the
Enterprise Center at
https://enterprisecenter.verizon.com.
Since our network facilities rely on power to deliver services
to customers, we have made sure that back-up batteries and
generators at our key network facilities keep power flowing to
deliver services to customers in case of prolonged commercial power
outages.
We appreciate our customers' patience and understanding as we
continue to restore service as quickly, and as safely as possible,
in the aftermath of these storms.
