"Utilities are being restored in parts of town, but the traditional ATMs are not back on line at this time," SACU Senior Vice President Chuck Smith said.
"Our credit union wants to make every effort to help out in this crisis. The mobile ATM is a perfect way to bridge the gap until services are restored. Because credit and debit cards aren't working in many places, having access to cash is essential."
The SACU Fallbrook Branch will reopen as soon as it can, and the ATM will remain in place as long as it is needed, the $2.6 billion asset credit union said.
