Boston Center, can I help you?
Yeah, hi. This is Dave Shapiro, CBS News.
I'm looking for someone to comment on the status of the flood evacuation over there.
There is no one available that can make an official statement this time, sir.
You're going to have to call back in about a half an hour to get that.
Is this also 7462686?
What has happened is that all the EOC lines roll over to the Grand Forks 911 Center.
I see. So that spoke to you two minutes ago.
Right.
All right. If I call the mayor's office, would that also...
Nope. You're not going to get anybody there.
Everybody's going to be at the Emergency Operations Center.
As soon as they can get that reestablished, then they'll transfer the phones over.
All right. Thank you.
