Okay, will do.
Thank you.
Law enforcement center, communications to help you?
Yeah, say, we have a lady here that has,
she could put up one family, one small family for her.
Okay, we're asking for a voluntary evacuation
of the entire city at this time.
Of the entire city?
Yes ma'am.
So where are we supposed to go?
There's the Grand Forks Air Force Base
or Amaretto at this time.
They're on the news right now
trying to get the information out to everyone.
Oh, would there be another dike that broke?
Not yet, no.
But the amount of water that's coming through
is flooding the streets.
Oh.
Okay.
So we're all supposed to get out of the top.
It's voluntary at this time.
Okay, okay.
Okay, so if you want to contact
the emergency operations center,
they've already evacuated from the basement
of the police department.
If you'd like to call them another 10 or 15 minutes
with that information for somebody to be put up at,
you can try giving it to them then.
Okay.
Okay?
Alrighty, thank you.
Yeah, bye.
