Retail Store Hours
Because storm damage and power outages may affect our normal store hours in certain areas, we recommend shopping and accessing customer assistance online at www.verizon.com or by using the MyVerizon app. If you’d rather visit a store, you can find the nearest Verizon location and schedule an appointment by visiting: www.verizon.com/stores.

Verizon Frontline Support for First Responders
The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team is standing by to provide mission-critical communications support to public safety agencies responding to Hurricane Ian at no cost to the supported agencies.

The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team provides on-demand, emergency assistance during crisis situations to government agencies, emergency responders, nonprofits and communities on a 24/7 basis. Verizon Frontline Response Team members set up portable cell sites, WiFi hotspots, free charging stations and other Verizon Frontline devices and solutions that enable communications and/or boost network performance.

Here’s a quote you can use from one of our local leaders:
“Hurricane Ian has already disrupted the lives of millions of Floridians,” said Shawn Alexander, consumer vice president for Verizon. “We hope this offer gives our customers one less thing to worry about so they can focus on staying safe.”

Verizon supports its employees in critical times
The VtoV Employee Relief Fund is a charity that provides aid for Verizon employees displaced from their homes due to natural disasters - such as fire, flood, hurricane, severe weather - or domestic violence. Since its inception in 2013, VtoV has provided over $4.8 Million in grants to more than 4,500 Verizon employees around the world. The grants are used toward food, clothing, shelter and other necessities during life-changing disasters. In addition to the generosity our employees show in support of their fellow V Teamers, Verizon Foundation offers a generous matching gift program with 100% of every donation going directly to help a V Teamer in need, because Verizon pays all administrative fees.

*Verizon small business customers include customers with 50 lines or less.
