We installed a spare CAD station to use for non-emergency calls such as trees down. This was very helpful as it let the other stations remain available for emergency calls.
This is a overview of the dispatch center during the height of activity.
Just in case, we had a battery and inverter to power small AC devices.
A stand-by generator is on the trailer and you see our primary generator on the concrete slab. The County pre-position the stand-by just in case our primary generator failed. We were without commercial power for just over 20 hours and the primary generator did fine. It was comforting to know we had a spare generator if needed.
After things calmed down around 11pm, the administrative staff that had been on-duty all day retreated to their respective offices for a little rest.
