Law enforcement center, could you hold, please?
Yes.
Thank you.
Law enforcement center, can I help you?
What's the procedure for evacuating to the base?
Do you just go to the front gate at the base, the main gate?
We haven't been told the actual procedure, but that's what we're recommending,
because they would be able to direct you to where to go.
Okay.
All right, thanks a lot.
Yep, bye-bye.
Law enforcement center, could you hold, please?
Yes, thank you.
Thanks, Paul, and could I help you?
Yes, can you tell me, please, do you have to evacuate?
Right now, they're recommending a voluntary evacuation of the whole city.
The whole city?
They're recommending it.
In other words, they're saying that if you have someplace out of the city to go,
they're recommending to go there.
They're not doing any other mandatory ones at this time,
other than what they've already done.
Hello?
Yes.
Yeah, what part of the city's got to move out of that north end?
Right now, they're recommending a voluntary evacuation of the whole city.
So what they're saying is that if you have someplace out to go out of Grand Forks,
they're recommending it.
The air base is open, and as is Emorado, they've got room there.
Other than that, they're not doing any mandatory evacuations.
They're letting people right now decide in certain areas,
unless somebody comes to your door and tells you to leave.
Oh, well, nobody came here, so I'm just going to go in there.
Okay.
All right?
Yep.
