All the field technicians and staff of network operation center have been informed by USCarrier to stay in a 24-hour alert mode through this weekend, when Hurricane Hanna is being expected to arrive. The company will also send ancillary personnel who will physically drive the network so that areas with problems might be identified.

 

Apart from this, as a part of preparations to combat the potential destruction of Hanna, the back-up generators of the company have been tested, POP doors have been sealed and sand bagged, all the terminals have been backed-up, emergency equipment parts have been ordered for, and the cable contractors have been asked to prepare for quick deployment if some emergency arises.
