Hi, this is Richard from the Starchview, Minneapolis. Can you give me the main frequency that you're
using for the flood system coverage?
It's radio frequency?
Yes.
I don't even have it. At this point you're going to have to contact EOC and we're trying
to get them reset up.
No, I don't have that frequency handy with me right now. We're just inundated with calls
because EOC is not set up again.
Okay.
Where is EOC now?
We had to evacuate them out of the police department because we're getting water in
here. They're going to be set up at the University of North Dakota plant services. We're just
waiting to get their lines back up again.
Yeah.
So they may be able to tell you.
Do you have a phone number for their?
That's the same number, 746-2685. They're rolling over to the police department and
that's what you're getting here. So I don't have anything for you.
Is anyone there having anything?
No. All we're doing is answering the calls and telling people to try and call back in
10 or 15 minutes and I'll clear their lines. They'll be set up to answer your questions.
Okay. So I can try back in 15 or 20 minutes?
Yep.
Thank you.
You bet. Bye-bye.
