Hello there. My parents were coming over to come and get me, to get me and my children and my pets out, and they couldn't make it through.
Is there any way that we can get some assistance?
Where are you at?
608 Chestnut.
Okay, how many people?
It's me, I've got my three kids, two cats, and a dog. I don't know what to do with my pets.
Okay, so it's four individuals?
Yes.
And three pets?
And three pets.
Okay, I don't know if they'll be able to get the pets, but we'll get somebody to 608 Chestnut as soon as we can.
Okay.
Okay.
Do I leave the pets at home? Is that what I do?
I don't know, ma'am. You don't have the EOC. You have the 911 center, and they...
Is the EOC not online?
No, they're not. They've been evacuated. They're trying to transfer their phones at this time.
Okay.
They'll get somebody to 608 Chestnut as soon as they can, and they can tell you whether or not they can handle the pets or not.
Okay, thanks. I'll be back.
