Power is usually knocked out in a disaster area, and getting it up and running means more lives can be saved faster. Now a company that creates power-generating trailers has developed one designed specifically for an emergency zone. The trailer is called the MobileMill and can generate enough power from solar and wind to run an entire command center, complete with computers and radios.
