Sheriff Chad Bianco with the mobile command post
The Riverside County Sheriff Department recently received their new state-of-the-art mobile command post! Built by LDV, Inc., the vehicle features a Magellan MX500™ Weather Station with Weather Master™software and the Weather Display Console.

The Magellan MX500™ Weather Station can be seen mounted near the front of the vehicle.
Sheriff Chad Bianco notes: "Mobile command posts are a must for critical incidents, natural disasters, and some crime scenes . . . Today we took delivery of our first (of three) state of the art Mobile Command Post. This thing is amazing. It is a self contained office, conference room, computer center, cellular/wi-fi, and dispatch center.

"Our Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team (SERT) personnel worked closely with the manufacturer to design and equip this from the ground up making it one of the most advanced and capable vehicles in the industry."

The Magellan MX Weather Station line is particularly suited for vehicle and portable applications requiring real-time met data on the go, such as mobile weather labs, incident command centers, and hazmat apparatus.

Trusted by government agencies and industry leaders around the globe, customers include GM, Cummins, Kinder Morgan, and General Electric.

South River High School in New Jersey does just that. Last year, the school installed a  Capricorn FLX Weather Station  on one of their buildings. The Climate Change Club uses the data to report hourly weather readings to the National Weather Service. According to their website: “This will make South River High School a weather hub for pilots to collect current weather conditions of our area. The information that the club collects will also be archived for climate change data.” Administrator Kamila Miazio added that the club “provides a weekly forecast, satellite imagery of CONUS, and severe weather updates.
