Thanks for holding. Can I help you?
Yes, I'm calling. We need to determine what our elevation is in Grand Fork.
I'm sorry, I have no idea.
Where would we call?
The EOC department right now has evacuated. They're trying to reset up.
The mayor is asking for a voluntary evacuation of the city.
So that may be something you'd like to do.
A voluntary evacuation of the city?
Of Grand Fork City, yep.
Oh my gosh.
The shelter is open in Amaretto and I'll find the base.
And there's also one in Zebra Falls.
Okay.
Okay, and I'm sorry, I don't have any elevation stuff in here.
Okay.
All right?
Okay, thank you.
Yep.
