Business Wire
Frontier Communications operations teams will continue to work
wherever and whenever possible in the days ahead unless weather
conditions from Hurricane Irma make doing so unsafe for employees.
Following are general guidelines for the upcoming weekend and into
Monday, including areas impacted by mandatory evacuations:
- On Saturday, Frontier will strive to
keep a “business as usual” operating position for repairs and
service. New installations will be delayed until the storm passes
and damage assessments are made. At 5:00 p.m., all work will cease
and all vehicles will be off of area roads.
- On Sunday, Frontier employees scheduled
to work will be put in “on call” status, available for extreme
service needs, dependent on the severity of Irma.
- Monday is to be determined.
- For all areas under mandatory
evacuation notices, Frontier will be postponing new installations
and repair service orders. Repair orders in non-evacuated areas
will continue through Saturday, if possible, as outlined
above.
Frontier reminds area residents that restoration efforts after
Irma has passed will begin once respective emergency management
organizations in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Manatee and
Sarasota Counties give the “all clear” that it is safe to resume
working. At that time, Frontier will follow standard priorities for
service restorations – public safety and health; business
customers; and residential customers.
“The safety of our customers and service technicians is our
primary focus,” said Melanie Williams, Frontier’s Senior Vice
President, Operations in Florida. “Our teams will do everything
possible to address any network issues that Irma may cause. We
appreciate our customers’ patience and understanding.”
