Police Department, please hold.
Thanks for holding. Can I help you?
Hi, this is Dwayne Sander, the KCMM, trying to get some information
dispelling the rumor that volunteers are being turned away and told to go home.
You're no longer needed.
I have no idea.
EOCs are in the middle of transferring over to another place.
They had to evacuate.
I know that the mayor, I think that the mayor is supposed to second.
The mayor was supposed to be asking for a voluntary evacuation of all areas,
so I don't know what the status is yet there.
They're still trying to set up a new location.
Where are they setting up a new location?
At Plant Services and UND campus.
I just called over there. They're not there yet.
Oh, okay.
They're bringing our equipment over.
I'll take the ROP over to the other.
Geez.
Okay.
What's going on?
Okay.
Thank you.
