Can I help you?
Yes, this is Christine over at Channel 11.
I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm very busy.
I can't get any of the emergency people to tell me about this evacuation,
which sounds a whole lot bigger than we thought it would.
Okay, at this point, we evacuated the emergency operations center out of the police department.
They're relocating at the University of North Dakota plant services.
We're trying to get their lines set up right now.
That's why nobody can get through to them.
Okay, is there anything that anybody there could that can tell me the status of this evacuation?
Are we talking about the whole thing?
We're talking about a voluntary evacuation of the city.
Okay, of the whole city.
Okay, are we talking about this Grand Forks or Grand Forks?
I don't know anything about these Grand Forks.
Okay.
All right.
All right, do you know how long this has been in effect?
We're just giving it. We're going to be sounding sirens.
Okay.
All right. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
