if water is now on the block, and if the power is...
Where is she at?
She's at 1517 Walnut, between 15th and 17th Avenue South.
I would almost guess that there is, but I couldn't tell you for sure whether there is
water there exactly.
Okay, is there a flood control number I can call or anything?
Another phone number?
I don't know if the Emergency Operations Center could answer something like that for you.
You might want to call KCNAN.
Okay, that's your radio station?

Okay, could I also have the Emergency Center phone number?
746-2685.
Thank you very much.
Sure.
