Verizon Outage

January 29, 2026

Verizon voice and date services have been effected since roughly 12:30EST. “We are aware of an issue impacting wireless voice and data services for some customers. Our engineers are engaged and are working to identify and solve the issue quickly. We understand how important reliable connectivity is and apologize for the inconvenience,” Verizon said in a statement.

UFCRS reminds everyone to have a plan, and not just a fire safety plan. During times of an emergency, various cellular providers, various data providers, can go down.

Maintain different means of utilities to ensure emergency continuity and have a PACE (Primary Alternate Contingency Emergency) Plan.

Emergency Planning Courses will be offered to the community later in 2026
