Verizon has supported relief efforts following flash flooding in New Mexico, by providing a $10,000 donation to the Community Foundation of Lincoln County.
The Community Foundation of Lincoln County is a New Mexico-based organization provides resources for local residents and this donation will go towards their shelter fund to provide assistance with temporary housing and repairs.
Aimee Novak, Mountain Market President at Verizon commented: “We are here for the Ruidoso community, our hearts break for the lives that were lost and the families they leave behind.
“Our teams have been committed to helping New Mexico residents during recent natural disasters, from supporting first responders during recent wildfires to aiding current flooding recovery efforts through this donation.”
New Mexico’s governor issued a State of Emergency but despite the recent destruction, Verizon’s network remains operational.
According to officials, recent wildfires and burn scars contributed to the flooding. Verizon supported public safety officials during last year’s wildfires in Ruidoso and the surrounding area by deploying several temporary assets to aid first responders with critical communications.
Verizon has a fleet of more than 550 mobile assets ready to rapidly deploy and deliver essential services during natural disasters like the wildfires in New Mexico.
