Maitland, FL--Bright House Networks is prepared to meet the challenges of the 2009 hurricane season.

Protecting the network and preparing for any needed restoration activity following a hurricane are key priorities at Bright House Networks, and part of that strategy includes working with local emergency authorities to make sure the information flow to the public is maintained when hurricanes strike.

With hurricane response plans in place, Bright House Networks is engaged in a number of outreach activities to inform customers about the approaching season.

Bright House Networks and its wholly owned news channel Central Florida News 13 are making available Central Florida News 13’s hurricane tracking map, which can be downloaded from the Central Florida News 13 hurricane center website, located at http://www.cfnews13.com/.

The News 13 hurricane information site contains a wide variety of hurricane-related tips as well as links to other important websites with hurricane information.

Bright House Networks is also in close partnership with public hurricane preparedness officials throughout the company’s nine-county Central Florida service area, to ensure constant and complete communications are maintained at all times.
