High-Tech Mobile Command Centers

Washtenaw County Sheriff Mobile Command Unit

When natural disasters and emergency incidents cut power, damage infrastructure, or disrupt communication, Mobile Command Centers step in to serve as critical, centralized hubs for response teams. These command centers are equipped with advanced technology that regularly includes Magellan MX500 Vehicle-Mount weather stations.

Riverside County Sheriff's Mobile Command Posts have been deployed to critical incidents, including wildfires, natural disasters, and crime scenes.
Monitoring weather data at the scene means:

🚨 Increased Safety: Integrating weather monitoring into critical information systems increases situational awareness. Extreme temperatures and high wind speeds can pose a risk to crews and affect response efforts.

🚨 Seamless Automation: Data is automatically displayed, logged, and reported via WeatherMaster software. Custom alarms can be set to trigger instant alerts. 

🚨 Comprehensive Reporting: Accurate data is critical for incident reporting analysis to mitigate future risks.

Our new Mobile Command Center application page has additional details, which you can read here.

School Invests in Weather Station for Hands-On Learning

We are always excited when educators invest in giving their students hands-on knowledge of how weather works, how it’s measured, and how it affects them. 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. The advisor is working to teach students METAR code (the weather code that pilots use to see current weather conditions for the area), report an hourly automatic observation with the weather equipment, record the data and...
