Law Enforcement Center.
Will this number also get me through to the Emergency Operations Center?
It will eventually, hopefully. What's going on is they've had to evacuate where they were at,
and they're resetting up at UND, and they're trying to reconnect their phone lines.
So we're getting their rollover calls.
So we're expecting their lines to be up in the next 15 to 20 minutes.
I see.
So if you just called the same number, you should get them hopefully in 20 minutes.
You know, calling from CBS News in New York,
do you know if there's any way I could be put in touch with Jim Campbell right now?
We have no way of reaching them right now.
All right. I'll just keep trying. Would the best number be 268?
Yep. Yep. And when that comes back up.
Yep. Right.
