The emergency is I'm trying to contact my kids.
Okay, where are they at?
They live in Beltrami, Minnesota with their dad and they were evacuated out there
and I have not heard anything from the father or about where their whereabouts are.
In Beltrami?
Beltrami, Minnesota.
Okay. I don't have any idea where their shelters are or how they have it set up.
I know that here for our shelters I don't necessarily have a contact for any of them.
Is there any way you can find out for me?
I don't know if they're going to even know where they have anybody.
Usually the shelters, they load them on a bus and just get them out of there.
Have you tried checking with their police department at all,
seeing if they can tell you what the numbers are?
Beltrami doesn't have a police department.
And this is in Minnesota?
Yes.
Do you know what county it's in?
Well, it's in Penn County.
Penn County is in Penn County?
I'm sorry, I don't know Minnesota very well.
I can give you the number to the Polk County S.O. and they might be able to give you.
Is that long distance?
Because that's the thing, I don't have long distance.
Yeah, there would be a long distance phone call.
Is there any way that you can call for me?
What's your number ma'am?
My number is 772-6437.
Okay, and your name?
My name is Deanna Lehman.
And who are you looking for?
I'm looking for Robert Lehman, which he has my three daughters, Brandi, Cassie, and Dory.
Okay, I'll see if I can get a phone number for you, okay?
Okay.
Yep.
