It's hurricane season, meaning large parts of the US are at risk of unpredictable weather.

Such weather can lead to severe disruptions, in particular to mobile networks.

For telecom companies such as Verizon, networks must be up and running as quickly as possible during these moments to keep people connected.

The carrier regularly holds practice drills and tests new technology as part of its preparation for such outages during natural disasters.

In this episode of the DCD>Zero Downtime podcast, Mark Paff, director for business continuity & event management at Verizon, and Cory Davis, VP at Verizon Frontline, discuss how Verizon prepares its response efforts in challenging scenarios.
