September 30 2022 - 1:27PM
In light of the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Ian,
Verizon has committed $125,000 to the Florida Disaster Fund,
Florida's official private fund established to provide assistance
to communities as they respond to and recover from times of
emergency or disaster.
“Verizon is committed to providing support to our customers,
neighbors, businesses and friends in Florida who are recovering
from the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Ian,” said Manon
Brouilette, CEO of Verizon Consumer Group. “The communities in
which we live and work are the lifeblood of our business, and we
will continue to assist Florida’s communities in their time of
need.”
“On behalf of Volunteer Florida, we would like to thank Verizon
for their significant financial contribution to the Florida
Disaster Fund in response to the state-wide recovery efforts from
Hurricane Ian,” said CEO of Volunteer Florida Josie Tamayo. “Their
contribution to the Florida Disaster Fund will help provide
essential services in rebuilding our affected communities.”
“The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team is on the ground to
provide mission-critical communications support for first
responders," said Maggie Hallbach, senior vice president, Public
Sector at Verizon. "We have seen the devastating effects of this
storm, and we’ll be there for the long haul to ensure first
responders have what they need in the response and recovery
efforts.”
