STEVENSVILLE, Md. – The Pennsylvania Northwest Central Emergency Response Group (NWCERG) has recently taken delivery of two Command Trailers custom designed and built by Incident Communications Solutions, LLC (ICS).
The command trailers provide the NWCERG with a conference room area, workstations, shelter, radio interoperability solution, and self-sufficient power generation. The trailers feature advanced IP-based communications and ICS Tactical-Voice™ VoIP service, providing the Taskforce with communication ability in any condition or environment. ICS has also been contracted to build two communications trailers for PA-NWCERG. The communication trailers will have a comprehensive communications package with satellite reach back and ICS Tactical-IP™ Satellite service.
The command and communication trailers were funded using the Department of Homeland Security’s Public Safety Interoperable Communications (PSIC) Grant Program. According to DHS documentation this investment will “improve communications at large-scale incidents and events; provide capabilities to restore voice and data communications if the fixed primary assets are destroyed; provide relay capabilities to bring voice and data communications into remote sections of the region as needed; and enhance the region’s ability to pass data and voice over the PA-STARNet system during major incidents”.
The Northwest Central Emergency Response Group is responsible for “protecting human life, working to mitigate emergencies and respond to manmade and natural disasters throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania”.
