DALLAS, May 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Residents of
Texas and Oklahoma have experienced destructive
tornadoes and record setting rainfall that has led to flooding,
many deaths and missing Texans and Oklahomans. AT&T today
announced a $150,000 donation to the
American Red Cross in support of its disaster relief and storm
recovery efforts across affected communities in both states.
"While we can never truly replace what is lost, we at AT&T
Texas are working to help these communities pick themselves up and
move forward. We understand how critical communication and
information are during and after a natural disaster, so we are also
continuing to monitor our networks to keep customers connected and
minimize service disruptions," said David
Nichols, president, AT&T Texas.
"It is times like these that test our resolve, resiliency
and strength as individuals and as a community. Oklahomans come
through for each other in times of need. And with your help, this
time will be no different," said Steve
Hahn, president, AT&T Oklahoma. "We know that staying
connected during severe weather events is critically important to
consumers, businesses and our emergency management officials, which
is why our teams have been working tirelessly - monitoring and
reinforcing our network."
AT&T is also launching a text-to-give donation program
benefiting the Red Cross disaster relief efforts.

call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or text REDCROSS to

Donations to Red Cross Disaster Relief can help provide food,
water and shelter for those who have had to leave their home.
Contributions to the Red Cross will help those hard-hit communities
in Oklahoma and Texas as they start to recover, rebuild and
get back on their feet.
