Caller wanted the phone number for Sandbag Central. The dispatcher explained that the Emergency Operations Center would have that information, but their phones were down while they were relocating to the UND campus. The caller said she had heard on the radio that the EOC phones were working. The dispatcher told her that was not the case and recommended she try back in 20 to 30 minnutes.

Hi, do you know the numbers through Sandbank Central at all times of time?
No, we don't have that information here.
We're just referring people to call back here.
We're hoping the EOC will get their lines back up here any minute.
Okay.
How come they stay on the radio when they're up?
I don't know.
I wish they were.
Oh, okay.
Have you tried their numbers?
Do you know?
The EOC?
Yeah.
Yeah, I have.
You can't get through the radio stations either.
Oh, is that right?
Yeah.
Do you know their numbers or don't you?
No, I don't have any of that in front of me here.
I'm just basically sitting here.
They just need to go answer the phones because it's going kind of wild in here.
Okay.
The only thing I could suggest is to try the EOC number back in like a half an hour or
20 minutes.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
