T‑Mobile Races to Keep Flood‑Stricken Communities Connected

T‑Mobile jumped into action as severe flash flooding swept across Central Texas, with Kerr County bearing the brunt of the devastation. According to a statement issued by the Un-carrier, their beloved network held firm and their teams sprang into action to support the communities hit hardest.
The company deployed its Community Support vehicles to Kerrville, loaded with trailers and trucks carrying free Wi‑Fi, phone charging stations, and essential supplies at a reunification center they helped set up. These units were expected to reach the area later in the day, with precise location details to follow once confirmed.
In addition to physical resources on the ground, T‑Mobile coordinated closely with state and local emergency agencies, including the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), to ensure both connectivity and support were delivered where needed most. The company stressed that their aim is to work hand-in-hand with first responders and public safety officials throughout the recovery effort.
Mike Sievert, CEO of T‑Mobile, shared his heartfelt message on July 5 via X:
“My heart is with everyone in Texas as this terrible flooding impacts so many. T‑Mobile’s network is holding strong. We’re providing supplemental coverage to support first responders, have community support vehicles ready to help as soon as it’s safe, and we’re in touch with…”.
This response is part of T‑Mobile’s ongoing commitment to stepping up during environmental disasters. The deployment of support vehicles and charging stations follows their broader strategy of providing hands-on aid during crises across the U.S.
For everyday readers, think of it like T‑Mobile sending mobile command centers that not only keep phones working, but also give people a place to charge their devices and connect with loved ones—especially when power and internet outlets may be down.
It’s worth noting that similar efforts have been rolled out in prior disaster situations—from tornado recovery in Texas to wildfire support in California. This latest action continues a pattern of the company striving to offer comfort and connectivity when it matters most.
