"The MCC is one of three buses that are deployed to disaster sites throughout the United States to help customers and non-customers alike," explains Farmers Illinois State Executive Director Randall Cooper. "This bus features the latest in telecommunications systems to enable ongoing communications before, during and after a catastrophe. This is just one of many resources Farmers mobilizes to assist the community and our customers during an emergency."
After the parade, the public is invited to tour the bus and learn about some of the unique features - included its "green" technology - that have been incorporated into the design of the bus. The bus will be stationed on the east side Columbus Avenue, between Balbo and Roosevelt throughout the day.
