Before and After the Storm, Be Ready with USSI Global
The Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1, and Florida-based USSI Global is very familiar with the potential dangers that extreme weather can bring. Less than three years ago, the company had to prepare for Hurricane Ian, which made landfall on Florida’s West Coast and traveled across the state. It was the deadliest storm to hit the state in nearly a century, leaving behind billions of dollars of damage in its wake.
While USSI Global was spared from major damage (our headquarters are on the East Coast in Melbourne), we were ready to help broadcasters in the affected areas repair their equipment and get back on the air. Since then, Florida has been hit by other hurricanes as well, including Helene last year, a storm that brought historic flooding to western North Carolina as it continued north.
You already know USSI Global is your resource for regular maintenance – but we’re also ready to serve with disaster recovery.
According to NOAA, there was approximately $182.7 billion in damages from weather and climate disasters in 2024. Of course, hurricanes are not the only damaging weather events. We all remember the destructive wildfires in Los Angeles County earlier this year. Plus, tornadoes, blizzards, flooding, and earthquakes can all take their toll on broadcast facilities, particularly equipment like large antennas and satellite dishes that are operate in the elements. That’s why you want USSI Global at the ready when faced with the three “Rs” of recovery: Repairs, Repointing (satellite dishes), and Replacing (equipment).
No matter where you are, bad weather happens. Whether it’s routine maintenance or disaster recovery, USSI Global can minimize your downtime with a service level agreement (SLA). Learn more at ussiglobal.com/services
