KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A new FEMA Midwest headquarters somewhere in the Kansas City area will now allow crews to respond to disasters throughout the Midwest.

The exact location of the facility is being kept secret for security purposes, but the new facility features many of the new tools that disaster response crews would need.

FEMA officials said that crews from the facility would respond to disasters like the Oklahoma City federal building bombing, the Greensburg tornadoes and the Minneapolis highway bridge collapse.

The trucks and cars at the new FEMA office will be loaded and ready for a quick response when the call is needed and will cover a 14-state, 600-mile radius, which includes areas like Minneapolis, Dallas, Oklahoma City, St. Louis and Denver.

FEMA said they already have eight of these types of facilities across the country.

The equipment in the new facility is designed to handle a variety of disasters, from a terrorist attack to wildfires.

Some local city and state officials will have a tour of the building later today.
