Ok I know this is reassuring that they have this capability, rapid response and all that.. But daaangggg CNET this is straight up an ad for AT&T..
Edit: did AT&T bought CNET or something?

We all know 2020 has been an intense year. We visited AT&T’s Network Disaster Recovery center to see how carriers bring back the network after a hurricane, a fire, or any other major emergency. Keep in mind that different companies, like Verizon and T-Mobile, also have emergency response teams.
