With the potential threat of Tropical Storm Gonzalo bearing down on the BVI over the next couple of days, Digicel would like to inform its customers, its staff and the territory as a whole that its hurricane contingency plan is in high gear and it has everything in place to best manage the events of the coming days.

Digicel’s Crisis Management Team, headed by Conor Looney, CEO of Digicel BVI, will continue to monitor and track the tropical storm as it forms and gathers strength over the Caribbean Sea.

Specifically, Digicel has ensured that all of its cell sites across the territory have plenty of fuel and that back-up generators are in good order and ready to go in the event of a power failure.

Commenting on Digicel’s readiness for the storm, Mr. Looney noted “We have done everything possible to be ready and able to ensure that from our point of view, Gonzalo passes without incident. Our cell sites are checked, stocked and ready and our technical team and field engineers have been mobilized across the territory.”

“Our primary concern is the safety of our customers and our staff and that we keep people connected to friends and family no matter what. We would like to take this opportunity to remind people to stay safe, keep their phones charged and ensure they have credit on their phones so that they can communicate with their loved ones.”
