Law enforcement center.
Oh, you're law enforcement.
You're trying EOC?
Yeah.
What's going on here is they're having water problems at EOC,
so they're transferring themselves out to UND,
and they're going to have their numbers up and running within the next 10 to 20 minutes.
So if you could just call the same number back, they'll be able to help you out.
They're already gone. They're just trying to hook up the lines right now.
Okay. Well, my reason for calling was because they've been turning away volunteers for bagging,
and we need them so bad over in East Grand Forks, so they sent a bus over to pick up,
and I've got to get a word to somebody there at the Civic Arena
that we need their workers if they're turning away.
Yeah. I can't help you because I have no way of getting over myself right now.
We're just trying basically to evacuate the police department and the EOC
and take their calls so they can get their lines hooked up.
Okay. They're moving to another location?
Yeah, over at the university, at the U.
And they're supposed to have these same numbers hooked up within the next 10 to 20 minutes, they told us.
Okay. Thank you.
Yep.
