Hi, is this the EOC?
No, their forms are ringing into the police department.
You just need to keep trying that line, okay?
Maybe you can answer the question.
Uh-huh.
Does the sirens go off?
Was that anything in particular?
Yep, we're evacuating Central Park area.
I think it's on further street.
General Central Park here.
Oh, Central Park needs to be emptied out and we need to clear 1-700 blocks of South 3rd,
South 4th, South 5th.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.

South 6th, knocks on this one.
South 6th, Bruist Division, Gertrude, Franklin, Minnesota, Woodland, Elm, Walnut Avenue, 4th
Avenue, South, and Drees Court.
Anyway, usually between the 0 block and the 700 block in those areas.
Zero to 700 block?
Yeah, roughly in those areas.
And then...
I mean, some of them don't go that high but that pretty much covers every area that needs
to be evacuated.
They have 2 feet of water in the street.
So is it Central Park and then the 0 to 700 block of the adjoining area and the adjoining
streets?
Yep.
Yep.
Yeah, that'll help.
