The AARC has acquired a 16 ft enclosed trailer for use as a mobile communications center. The trailer was purchased through a grant Received from CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) by the Ascension Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. We are currently working towards outfitting the trailer with the necessary equipment to provide communications in the event of an emergency or natural disaster. Check out AARC photos.
