The Buchanan County Long Term Recovery Committee has purchased a trailer to aid in disaster relief.

Grant funds from the Regional H Homeland Security Oversight Committee allowed the LTRC to purchase the trailer and equipment for use following a disaster.

According to a news release from the University of Missouri Extension the trailer can be taken to any site in Region H where disaster recovery is in progress.

According to the release the trailer is supposed to make it possible for volunteers assisting with recovery efforts to have the equipment and project supervision needed to take care of a disaster quickly and successfully.
