RIDGELAND, Miss. (June 3, 2025) – C Spire, a diversified telecommunications and technology services company, is committed to keeping its communities and customers connected during the upcoming 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. With decades of experience, a highly trained team, and a bolstered wireless and fiber network, C Spire is ready to respond to emergencies and widespread natural disasters when they occur.
"Reliability and connectivity are crucial for the communities and customers we serve before, during, and after weather events," stated Alan Jones, Chief Network Officer for C Spire. "We stand ready to activate our emergency response plan if needed to maintain connectivity, minimize disruptions for our customers, ensure a swift recovery, and support first responders."
The hurricane season began June 1 and runs through Nov. 30. The outlook from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts an above-normal season with 13-19 named storms. Of those, 6-10 are forecast to become hurricanes, including 3 to 5 major hurricanes.
To prepare for hurricane season, C Spire implements extensive measures to strengthen its networks. These initiatives involve reinforcing infrastructure, augmenting network redundancy, and upgrading equipment to improve system reliability. C Spire employs backup batteries and has installed backup generators at over 90 percent of its access points, wireless sites, and data centers to ensure redundancy.
Additionally, C Spire routinely reviews and updates its emergency preparedness and crisis communications plans and conducts readiness drills throughout the year to evaluate the resilience of its network and the preparedness of its workforce.
Jones said, "Before weather events, we ensure the right teams and tools are in place and ready near expected storm impact areas so we can mobilize safely and quickly to get our communities and customers back online."
As a customer-inspired company, C Spire operates a network experience center that monitors weather events and organizes disaster recovery preparations. These preparations include measures to strengthen data centers and network facilities, continuous monitoring of network performance, and post-incident analysis and review.
