Is this the EOC?
No, they had to evacuate from the police department and they're relocating out at university.
Okay, maybe you can help me.
Now, they're saying that everybody west or east of Washington is supposed to leave?
Actually, they're calling for a voluntary evacuation of the whole city, which means
if you have somewhere else to go, they're recommending that would be a good idea.
Okay, now what about electricity?
My understanding, and I don't know how clear you have to call it, EOC, but the last I heard
is that if it gets to that point, it will need to be shut off, that NSP will shut it
off from the outside?
Oh, they'll shut it off from the outside.
That's what I've been told.
Right, but you might want to check with the EOC to double check that because that's what
I was told earlier today.
Well, I was just wondering because I called the EOC number and you answered.
Yeah, well like I said, what's going on?
Is there numbers down because they're transferring everything over to the university?
Yeah, I knew that they were transferring.
So their number rolls over to ours until they get it hooked up, so that's why we're answering
their phone calls.
We don't have a lot of information here.
Okay, so then if we leave, just turn off all the lights inside and everything and then
just go.
Right, but like I said, you might want to double check that with the EOC, like in 20
minutes or so, they would be able to verify that for sure.
Alright, thank you very much.
You bet.
