Springdale-based Tyson Foods has unveiled a new tool for use in case of disaster.

The 53-foot semi-trailer premiered this morning in New York City during a live segment on "Fox & Friends," cable TV's top-ranked morning news show.  It will serve as a central supply unit at disaster sites. It is a part of Tyson's "Meals that Matter" program.
  
 The trailer is outfitted with enough refrigerated space to store up to 20,000 pounds of chicken, beef or pork,  a 5,500-watt generator and satellite communications.

  Mobile grills will be supplied, as needed, by Tyson's plant locations.

 More than 40 plant sites are currently capable of responding to disasters by sending grills and Tyson volunteers  to cook food.

 The company says it has responded to disasters in 26 states in the past
