Casa Valley telecom services under review by Frontier and Emery

Castle Valley's Hazard Mitigation Committee has taken significant steps to enhance local telecommunications reliability during their recent meeting on April 22, 2025. A key discussion centered around the need to accurately represent the providers of telephone services in the area, specifically highlighting both Frontier and Emery as essential contributors to local connectivity.

Committee members emphasized the importance of including Emery in official communications, as many residents rely on their services. This adjustment aims to ensure that the community is fully informed about their options for telephone service. The committee also debated the reliability of these services, with some members suggesting that the term "reliable" may be too strong, advocating instead for a more tempered description of the service quality.

In addition to telecommunications, the meeting addressed the need for improved emergency preparedness measures, particularly in light of potential power outages. The committee discussed the implementation of battery backup systems, similar to those used by Frontier, to ensure continued access to essential services during emergencies.

These discussions reflect the committee's commitment to enhancing community resilience and ensuring that residents have access to reliable communication channels. As the committee moves forward, they will continue to refine their strategies to bolster local infrastructure and emergency response capabilities, ultimately aiming to safeguard the well-being of Castle Valley residents.
