Now an emergency.
Hi, I was calling the OMSAT.
How safe is North 4th Street in Grand Forest?
We're recommending, if you're not in the immediate evacuation area of Lincoln Drive, Central Park or Riverside Park,
and you need to be in an above ground level.
What's off of that?
So if you're in a basement.
No, I'm an OMSAT, ground floor.
Ground floor, okay, ground floor should be fine.
Because I can hear the signs right now.
Right, we're sounding the signs for everybody.
Are you? Yep.
So how safe is that? For now? Is it just for now or?
For now you're not in the evacuation area.
Okay. Okay?
Just stay above ground.
Okay. Thanks.
