Who runs the emergency operations center?
00:03
We have a communication center, a dispatch, okay?
00:05
We have a communication center.
00:07
That's where the calls actually go to the police department, then they're for it.
00:10
Right, but leading up to this, in monitoring the weather, there's, in any large city, in any state,
00:16
there's an office of emergency management that is monitoring the weather,
00:21
that is watching and listening and getting briefings.
00:24
Who was getting those briefings in this city, in this county?
00:30
Who was receiving that information?
00:32
And who would have ultimately made the decision to evacuate,
00:37
hearing what was coming in from the weather service and other people?
00:41
Okay, what we would have done, when we'd get notified, we're coming through.
00:44
But you're not emergency management, though, right?
00:46
The sheriff's not EOC.
00:48
No, there is no emergency.
00:48
Who is the EOC?
00:49
Who is the city manager?
00:50
Yeah.
00:52
So we understand you have many questions.
00:55
Right, no, I understand, but you're not going to answer the question,
00:58
because that's up to the city manager and the mayor to answer those questions.
01:04
We understand.
01:05
We have many questions.
01:06
Where is the judge?
01:06
The judge is not here.
01:08
We understand that.
01:09
But right now, this team up here is focused on bringing people home.
01:13
We understand that, too, because there are a number of questions that are being adopted.
01:16
All those questions will be answered, but the priority right now is bringing people home.
01:21
We totally understand that, and we value the incredible work that is being done by those first responders.
01:26
We're seeing them out there, muddy and sweaty, and grinding it out day after day.
01:31
But your community is asking these questions.
01:34
And we want us.
01:35
We're a emergency manager in the county.
01:36
Right now.
01:37
You should be able to answer who was in charge of the emergency operations center at the time that was getting any briefings, if any briefings.
01:48
I do.
01:49
I think I'd like to focus on what local people can be looking for.
