Flood Call 356
The LEC operator explains that EOC had to evacuate to University and that their calls are still being redirected to LEC, but EOC needs another 15-20 minutes. The caller wants to know if they need anybody to walk the dike that evening, to which the operator responds uncertainly, knowing only that they've called for a city-wide voluntary evacuation.

Okay, this is the number, but right now they had to evacuate from the police department building and they're relocating over at the university.
And you don't have the number yet?
It's the same number, they just got to get their numbers, the lines reconnected. It just doesn't roll over to this number.
Okay, I was just told to call back in about 15 minutes.
Yeah, and they're still not up. We're hoping soon, but...
That's fine. I have a question for you. Do you know if there's any possibilities of dykes walking tonight? Are they looking for people?
I really don't know. I know they're calling for a voluntary evacuation of the whole city, so I don't know if they're looking for anybody else to watch the dykes or what.
They're looking for a voluntary evacuation of the whole city?
Yep. If you have places to go, we're recommending people to go.
Okay. Bye.
