Satellite Phone Store Provides Critical Hurricane Preparedness Solutions as Helene Impacts the Southeast

CHARLOTTE, N.C., September 27, 2024 (Newswire.com) - With Hurricane Helene devastating the Southeast, leaving record flooding and power outages in its wake, the Satellite Phone Store is stepping up to help individuals prepare and stay connected. Offering same-day delivery for some regions, the company has bundled essential gear, including EcoFlow generators, satellite phones, and solar panels, to ensure communication and power resilience during and after the storm. 

Helene has already claimed 17 lives, knocked out power to nearly four million people across Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, and continues to cause catastrophic flooding in the southern Appalachians. Experts are forecasting widespread flash flooding and landslides, particularly in Georgia and the Carolinas, with total rainfall expected to surpass 12 inches in some areas. This historic storm is one of the most destructive in the Big Bend region of Florida, where it made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane with 140 mph winds. 

Satellite Phone Store’s Hurricane Preparedness Page offers real-time updates, survival tips, and exclusive discounts on life-saving hurricane bundles. 

"In times of disaster, communication and power are lifelines. We’re offering discounts on critical tools like satellite phones so individuals can stay connected with loved ones and emergency services even in the worst conditions," said Britt Wehrman, Marketing Executive at Satellite Phone Store. "Whether you're in a flood zone or experiencing power outages, we want to make sure you have the tools you need to weather this storm." 

Hurricane Helene: The Situation So Far 

• 17 dead across the Southeast. 
• Nearly four million customers without power across Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. 
• Record storm surge flooding in Tampa, Florida, with water levels up to 20 feet above ground in some communities like Cedar Key. 
• Catastrophic inland flooding in North Carolina, with record rainfall totals in western regions like Asheville, N.C., and potential landslides. 

Helene’s rapid intensification — from Category 1 to Category 4 in 12 hours — is an extreme weather event likely amplified by climate change and record-hot Gulf of Mexico waters. 

With more flooding, power outages, and dangerous weather on the horizon, residents in the storm’s path are encouraged to prepare now. Satellite Phone Store's bundles, featuring satellite phones, solar panels, and portable generators, are tailored to meet the challenges posed by hurricanes and other natural disasters. For those in immediate need, same-day delivery is available in some regions, ensuring that help arrives before it’s too late.
