Forecasts indicate the potential for damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes, with heavy rainfall possible as the system moves east through the weekend.  We know storms like these can be unpredictable and concerning for those in their path. Our emergency management teams have topped off generator fuel tanks, verified battery backups and staged additional [emergency response equipment](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/disaster-definitions) in areas along the projected path. Deployment teams are on standby, and we have increased real-time infrastructure monitoring and network automation to help maintain service and respond quickly if needed.  We are proactively engaging with [state and local](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/a-former-fire-and-police-chief-helps-t-mobile-support-first-responders) Emergency Operations Centers and coordinating with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and other partners to [support readiness](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/compassion-to-connection-t-mobiles-disaster-response). Community support teams are also prepared to activate, if needed.  We encourage everyone in the projected path to follow local guidance and prioritize safety in the hours ahead. Please visit [T-Mobile Emergency Response](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/emergency-response) and follow T-Mobile Newsroom on [X](https://x.com/tmobilenews) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tmobilenews/) for the latest updates.   Tags[5G Advanced](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/5g-advanced)[Community](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/community)[Consumers](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/consumers)[Emergency Response](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/emergency-response)[Network](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/network) ## Related Stories [More Stories](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/category/network) [ \ CommunityPress Release \ __Before, During and After: How T-Mobile Shows Up for First Responders and Communities Across America at Every Stage__ \ May 19, 2026|7 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/how-t-mobile-shows-up-for-first-responders-across-america) [ \ NetworkPress Release \ __Ahead of the Storms: How T-Mobile Is Ready to Help Central U.S. Communities Stay Connected__ \ May 18, 2026|1 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-is-ready-to-help-central-u-s-communities-stay-connected) [ \ NetworkPress Release \ __T-Mobile Deploys Network and Community Support Following Mississippi Storms (5/11)__ \ May 07, 2026|2 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-support-mississippi-storms) [ \ NetworkPress Release \ __Every Second Counts: T-Mobile Advances a Stronger, Smarter, More Resilient Network for Americans__  \ May 05, 2026|10 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-advances-stronger-smarter-network-for-americans)
