I want to #thank our California, Nevada and Arizona teams for their quick #response and efforts in #preparation for Hurricane Hilary. These #teams worked in advance to top-off all generator fuel and strategically staged temporary assets in anticipation of a worst-case scenario. Although the impacted areas saw a fair amount of damage, Verizon’s #network held up very #strong. At peak times we had no more than 16 cell sites across the entire SW and Pacific out of service, mainly due to fiber cuts. Our #focus on #reliability starts during construction of a site by ensuring we have battery and generator backup whenever possible, a #strategy which definitely paid off during this #storm. Thanks again to the local #team and #partners for all your hard #work and post-storm restoration. #iamvz #Verizon #naturaldisaster #teamwork #hardwork #communication #wireless #wirelesscommunications #technology #thankyou #thankyouteam #preparedness #technology #engineering #partnership #hardwork #team #connectivity #connection

Hurricane Beryl is on our minds right now but we need to always remember that building in hurricane-prone areas presents many challenges, not the least of which is windstorm and flood insurance. Good design that utilizes tough and resilient materials like Megaacrete autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) wall assemblies is key. It is important to consider high winds, debris impact, and intense exposure to wind-driven rain. Building in Texas requires meeting Texas Department of Insurance requirements and Texas Windstorm Insurance Association inspections which AAC solutions can help you meet.

Resilience and reliability for your energy needs.
