Sprint News

The LIVE portion of this event is over. The forum will be monitored daily for the next 2 weeks to answer additional questions.

The 2009 hurricane season will be here before you know it and as usual, Sprint has made strategic preparations within its network and business continuity divisions, and Emergency Response Team to ensure a seamless communications experience for customers, first responders, and business clients that may be impacted by storms.

In recognition of National Hurricane Preparedness Week and in an effort to remind our customers and business clients what we’re doing to prepare for hurricane season, Sprint is hosting a live forum session with Tanya Lin, manager of the Sprint Emergency Response Team and Mark Sudduth, founder of HurricaneTrack.com.

This live forum will take place next Wednesday, May 27 at 1 p.m. EST. Buzz About Wireless users will be able to ask our guests information about Sprint’s preparations; what the company has done in the past to ensure seamless wireless coverage during a major storm of hurricane; how Sprint’s wireless service proves beneficial to customers, businesses, and first responders; and tips that customers can utilize to stay connected to their family and friends during an emergency situation.

In addition, Mark Sudduth can discuss how he uses Sprint technology to assist with collecting data and report on hurricanes and tropical storms as they make landfall. During a storm, he uses a high-speed mobile broadband card to monitor, collect and share hurricane data, photographs and video instantaneously with the public, government agencies, corporate clients and broadcasters through his website. Through the years, Mark has experienced some of the nation’s worst storms including Hurricane Katrina.
