JACKSON, MI (WTVB) -Consumers Energy has announced they have developed two new mobile command centers.
The vehicles were designed and outfitted to respond to any localized emergency the energy provider may face, as well as to support widespread storm restoration work.
Consumers Energy Vice President Annette Gardiner says the vehicles are conference rooms on wheels, where leaders can be with crews in the field with the resources needed to resolve emergencies safely and efficiently.
The 30 foot mobile command centers are based in Jackson and Clinton Township and are ready to be deployed wherever they are needed.
Each unit is equipped with backup satellite internet and 800 megahertz radio equipment to keep communication channels available in case typical systems are not operating.
