1
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:08,240
all good
all right well like i said i'm gonna do

2
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:12,719
something a little bit different today
uh we're gonna talk about snow

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:17,920
so it's uh it's december um i've already
mobilized for an event

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:21,039
um we did so uh this week uh on monday
uh sunday to monday we had uh crews out

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,119
um
just uh to for the the flurries that we

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,800
may or may not have had in the area
um you know we are we are getting

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:30,960
getting into that season so with that
i'm gonna go ahead and get started with

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,880
the presentation
um this is for the 2020 and 2021 winter

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,920
season
uh this is the fredericksburg residency

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,120
so
i've got three counties within the

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,640
fredericksburg residency i've got
stafford county spotsylvania county and

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,360
caroline county
for lane miles i have 284 interstate

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:57,199
lane miles
664 primary lane miles and 1835

14
00:00:54,879 --> 00:00:59,840
secondary lane miles that's a lot of
lame miles to maintain and more

15
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:02,960
importantly a lot of main
lane miles to get snow and ice off the

16
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:06,799
roadway
um got 11 commuter lots in those

17
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:11,680
counties uh in the green counties that
you see over to the right

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,360
i have 506 bridge and large culverts
bridges and large culverts which as you

19
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:20,240
all know they
they very much uh freeze faster than the

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,560
asphalt roadway that we've got
and i've got 130 plus vdot residency

21
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:28,240
employees
you know under my purview in the

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,600
residency that are out there
dedicating their almost entire winter to

23
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:37,200
snow removal
um we deal with the uh local first

24
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:40,799
responders the school transportation
i've got staff that's uh entering

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,680
information into
va traffic in 5-1-1 on top of the 130

26
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:48,240
employees that are reporting up through
me

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:51,759
i've got basically every employee in the
district which the district goes all the

28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,280
way down to
kilmarnock and matthews county and some

29
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:58,880
of those areas
i've got many of those employees that at

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:03,520
my discretion to
to use as monitors and have them out on

31
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:08,560
the roadway and admin support
it really is all hands on deck when we

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:12,160
get into to snow season here
in fredericksburg residency so some

33
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:15,040
resources i think these are some really
great numbers that

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,680
i wanted to pass along to you all
statewide we have a 211 million dollar

35
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,520
budget for snow removal
that's a lot of money um we set that

36
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,280
aside every year
just for snow and ice removal in the

37
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,280
state
for every event that we have an event

38
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,800
being
where i have to mobilize and i have

39
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,879
contractors out on the road that's 11
million dollars a day statewide that

40
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:42,640
we're spending on snow removal
for equipment you know we use a lot of

41
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,879
hired equipment we have i
absolutely have state equipment but

42
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:51,200
total pieces 11
300 of snow equipment signed up that we

43
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,800
can have out on the road in
what i'll call a level five storm where

44
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,959
we have you know
five plus inches of snow on the ground

45
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:02,800
that's 11
300 that's including heavy equipment

46
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,959
tandem single axles all kinds of great
stuff

47
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:12,560
as far as materials goes we have 690 000
tons of salt sand and treated abrasives

48
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:16,800
and 2.1 million gallons of liquid
calcium chloride or salt brine

49
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:20,800
which i'll talk more about that in a
little bit but you know i say all those

50
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:24,239
numbers i say you know i give these big
numbers as far as what we have as a

51
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,959
budget statewide the reality is no
matter what the cost is we're going to

52
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:30,959
get the snow off the road
that's the commitment that we have um we

53
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,720
are not going to stop
when we hit a magic number at the end of

54
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,000
the day we're going to spend whatever
resources we have

55
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:42,400
to keep the virginians that are
traveling out on the roadway safe

56
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:45,120
so that is our commitment for sure how
we prepare

57
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,000
we are you know when we get to this time
of year it absolutely rules uh

58
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,040
my life for sure and i know all of uh
probably many of you all and dealing

59
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:56,480
with the schools and
um very much from the vdot employee

60
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,239
perspective
we're constantly watching the forecast

61
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,680
we're looking to see what the
ambient temperature is going to be the

62
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:07,680
roadway temperature is going to be
we have contracted services that we can

63
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,560
go in and i can pull up with the road
temperature or the bridge temperature is

64
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:16,320
going to look like at any given time
within 48 to 72 hours

65
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:19,919
we utilized that prior to storms to come
up with a mobilization plan

66
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,199
once we get that mobilization plan we
make some decisions

67
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,240
are we going to pre-treat are we going
to put salt brine out on the road so

68
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,880
when you all see those
those trucks out you know 24 to 48 hours

69
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:34,400
prior to the storm
um putting down uh what looks like

70
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,960
liquid uh get some calls
oh why are you putting water on the road

71
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,479
it's gonna freeze well it's not just
water it's it's salt brine

72
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,440
you'll see some little white white
streaks that water will evaporate we've

73
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,280
got
salt that we'll maintain on the road and

74
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,880
what that does is that that kind of pre
um

75
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,840
it pushes back the the time frame in
which my

76
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,000
state forces have to get their trucks
and get the salt and sand out on the

77
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,600
road
it allows us a little bit of cushion and

78
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:04,880
it pushes back that time that the ice
and snow

79
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,880
adheres to the pavement we don't do it
on all of

80
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,759
our events i'm probably getting a little
bit ahead of myself i think i have a

81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,880
whole slide on this in a second so
um when we talk about mobilization for

82
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:18,639
smaller events
you know we begin 12 to 18 hours prior

83
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,560
to the forecasted storm but for large
events it's anywhere

84
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,400
up to a full day and maybe even more
we're calling contractors we're getting

85
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,800
our trucks staged out at commuter lots
and contracts ready for commuter lots

86
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,280
and
um you know making sure that all of our

87
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:38,080
vdot employees are ready and prepared to
to be called out for 12-hour shifts

88
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,600
when the time comes uh you know i just
talked a lot about pre-treatment

89
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,600
we have to make some decisions uh prior
to the storm you will not see us

90
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:48,639
brining uh putting the salt brine out on
the road or the calcium chloride out on

91
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:52,800
the road on every storm
uh we have to we have to look at the

92
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,600
temperature if it's going to be too cold
sometimes that salt brine will freeze

93
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:57,919
and then we could have an ice skating
rink and that is not something we want

94
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,360
to do so we are
if it gets down to around 20 degrees on

95
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,639
the pavement temperature
we will not brine and more often than

96
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,880
not um
given where we're at in virginia a lot

97
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:12,400
of our events start as rain
and if we were to put salt brine out and

98
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,440
the rain comes in it just washes
everything right off the road and we've

99
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,800
wasted our time we've wasted our money
so we try to only do that if it's going

100
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,039
to start as snow
and that will buy us some time and allow

101
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,960
us to get more ahead of the storm
we we treat i-95 that's going to take

102
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,800
our top priority
after we do i-95 we also have some

103
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:34,479
trucks that are out doing our primary
route so we hit

104
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:37,759
route 1 you'll see us hit 208 um you'll
see us go out

105
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,160
and and brian many of our primary roads
with routes which are anything 600 and

106
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,039
below
i should say 599 and below um and then

107
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:50,080
as we can we hit some of our we go and
salt brine some of our high

108
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:53,360
volume secondary roads as time permits
it really is going to depend on how much

109
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:56,479
time we have before the storm and how
quick we can get started

110
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,720
road clearing priorities so like i said
this is not just for salt brine this is

111
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:06,560
also for uh
our just normal snow removal whether

112
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,440
it's putting down
salt sand abrasives or actually putting

113
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,280
the plows down the road
i-95 the ramps the bridges the

114
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,520
overpasses that gets the priority
right outside of that you've got the

115
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:24,639
primary routes
which i think there's a typo here that

116
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:30,240
should be routes primary routes are
numbered 600 and above the secondary

117
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:35,120
routes are 599 and below
we do make special exceptions absolutely

118
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:39,680
for roads that are leading into public
safety facilities

119
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:43,280
we even have industrial drive let's say
because we know that that's leading out

120
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:46,960
to where rappahannock electric has their
uh facility that is uh considered a

121
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:50,160
primary route uh
in the the world of snow removal even

122
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:53,280
though the route number might not
reflect that but we have to give

123
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:55,360
priority to a route like industrial
drive because if people have power

124
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,039
outages
that could be a safety issue we do the

125
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:03,199
same thing for any of our state
maintained

126
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:07,039
first responder routes you know we work
with them on a normal basis i send them

127
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:11,199
our mobilization plans we are constantly
in contact during events

128
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,120
high volume secondary routes like i said
commuter lots

129
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,680
and then once conditions improve on the
above facilities we enter into the

130
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:23,360
subdivisions
and low volume secondary routes

131
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:27,759
when subdivisions is always a hot topic
uh cool topic when we talk about

132
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,919
some of the snow removal efforts that we
have drivers report to the area

133
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:36,320
headquarters to pick up a sign snow maps
with highlighted routes plowing only

134
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:41,839
begins when we have two
inches or more on the ground that's

135
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:45,279
actually putting the plow down
and plowing snow it's only going to

136
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:50,000
happen when we have two inches or more
other than that we are using

137
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:55,680
salt and sand to and potentially salt
brine to treat the roads

138
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:59,440
for the crews that first plow and treat
main subdivision streets you'll see us

139
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:03,200
sometimes come in and just do one pass
on some of the main routes

140
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,680
a lot of people ask why we do that well
hey you missed our street you missed my

141
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,880
subdivision
well that's because we need to have one

142
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:12,160
passable route
for those first responders to get to

143
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:15,839
where they need to go
if there is an emergency if someone

144
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,959
calls 9-1-1
we want to get them as close as we

145
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,640
possibly can
not to mention if someone does have an

146
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:25,279
emergency and they call 9-1-1 i have a
truck at every single one of my area

147
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,560
headquarters that is literally
designated for that

148
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,760
i don't care if i'm paying them the
entire storm to sit there

149
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,680
they are there in case the first
responders need them

150
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,519
crews return to the plat and plow the
side streets as allowable at the end

151
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,240
at the end of the storm um you know
that's going to be your low volume

152
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:46,080
subdivision streets
uh they don't always get that priority

153
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:50,080
but we will make sure we get them but
get to them uh after the storm is

154
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,279
complete
our goal is to reach most citizens as

155
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:56,240
quickly as possible we've got hills
curves intersections that we sand to

156
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:01,680
provide traction
my crews know where some of those larger

157
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:05,600
areas are where i'll say the hot topic
items where you have a larger hill

158
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:08,399
or maybe there's a cold spot or maybe
there's a drainage issue whatever it may

159
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,000
be
we make sure that these roads are

160
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:14,720
passable again passable does not mean
that you're going to get

161
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:20,000
two lanes in and out of there sometimes
passable during the heat of a

162
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:23,040
you know a high-level storm is just what
you see in that picture it's one lane in

163
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:28,320
and out and that's going to be for those
first responders in case there is

164
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,839
an emergency situation
it's drivable with extreme caution the

165
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,040
road remains snow packed and will not
necessarily be cleared curb to curb may

166
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:39,600
not be visible
bare pavement again we're doing whatever

167
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:42,880
we can to make sure that they get that
that service that they need in case

168
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:46,720
there is an emergency
um and we come back as time allows so we

169
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:51,040
get a lot of frequently asked questions
when we talk about snow

170
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:54,399
what time will the plow reach my street
for routine winter storms our goal is to

171
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,880
make all roads passable as soon as
possible

172
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,000
following the end of the storm with
significant snowfall in the one to two

173
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,040
foot range additional time
may be needed to hit all of the to come

174
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,640
into those
subdivisions that uh are low volume

175
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,839
roads to
to clear those things at the ends of the

176
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,040
storm i work with the
you know the school transportation in

177
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:17,360
case there are some routes where they
need to maybe

178
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:20,560
our contractor missed something i'm
constantly in contact with the school

179
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,079
transportation people to make sure that
those routes are cleared so that they

180
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,360
can get back to school
i live on a cul-de-sac or a side street

181
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,240
why are the other roads
plowed first i think we kind of touched

182
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,760
on that already sometimes we do those
main passes in

183
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:37,120
uh to make sure that the emergency first
responders can get in and out

184
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:41,760
um that will get you you know close to
where you need to go

185
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:46,720
what if i have a medical emergency this
is easy one you call 9-1-1

186
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:50,160
like i said i've got i've got crews that
are literally designated for

187
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,440
that that sit on the lot that are ready
to go

188
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,079
why doesn't vdot put down sand and salt
before it snows

189
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:00,000
well when you talk about sand and salt
coming down before a storm

190
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,120
you get wind you get rain you get
traffic that beats it off the road

191
00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:06,160
we would be wasting money we'd be
wasting resources that's why we have

192
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,680
that salt brine where you see
um you know the pre-treatment out there

193
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:15,360
that stuff stick that salt uh sticks to
the road even after that water

194
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,360
evaporates unless there is a rainstorm

195
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,440
why does the plow push snow in front of
my mailbox at the end of my driveway can

196
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:25,360
vdot come back and remove the snow
we get that one a lot i've worked with

197
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:27,920
some of you all on this exact same
complaint

198
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,440
i would encourage you if you all get
questions i would encourage them to put

199
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:36,399
it in through the 1-800 for road system
that stuff comes directly to us

200
00:12:34,079 --> 00:12:38,000
even during the storm we compile all
that stuff and at the end we make sure

201
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,560
we
get back to these citizens the reality

202
00:12:39,839 --> 00:12:46,720
is the snow has to go somewhere
we have to get the snow off the road our

203
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,680
plows are angled we're on the right side
of the road and when we make a pass

204
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,399
around a cul-de-sac
it pushes that snow out i i tell people

205
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,680
all the time make sure when you're
you're shoveling your real road

206
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:02,480
know that that plow is going to come
back back by and if you put the

207
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,200
if you put the snow on a certain side of
your driveway which

208
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,800
would be from look at the right looking
from the road my plow's going to knock

209
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:13,200
it right back into your driveway
so shovel that stuff to the left of your

210
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:17,360
driveway if you're looking from the road
i tell people that all the time it is a

211
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,920
necessary evil to get the snow off the
road

212
00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:22,560
it is up to the citizens to come and
make sure that their driveway is open

213
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,760
and clear
um additional information so we actually

214
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:31,440
have what's called
um uh a uh a vdot plow tracker so all of

215
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:34,079
our equipment whether it's state
equipment or contractor equipment has

216
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,200
avls on it
i can look at any time and see where my

217
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,720
equipment is
not only that the public can go and they

218
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:44,800
can look and see different maps
and see if we've started plowing in

219
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,720
their area i encourage you all to check
that out when

220
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:49,440
you're in the middle of a storm and
you've got vdotplows.org you can see

221
00:13:48,959 --> 00:13:53,040
their
their readiness they have the different

222
00:13:50,959 --> 00:13:56,959
maps and you'll have their color coded
to see where we're at

223
00:13:54,160 --> 00:14:01,760
as far as snow removal throughout the
state really

224
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:04,800
we also have additional vdot staff which
is outside of just my residency staff

225
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:07,839
that
is there acting as monitors they're

226
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:10,160
riding the roads they're looking at the
subdivisions

227
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:16,160
and they're keeping up with those
contractors i probably have

228
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:19,920
over 300 employees that come to and work
for the fredericksburg residency during

229
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:23,760
snow removal
drivers and residents can help before

230
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:27,920
and during the storms
monitor the forecast make plans

231
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:32,000
accordingly telework and adjust commutes
ensure you have gas wiper fluid proper

232
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:36,240
tires food water and medicine when
driving after the storm

233
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:40,800
follow the driveway shoveling tips give
plows the room that they need

234
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:44,000
be patient we'll get there it's just a
process

235
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,120
we have to hit certain priority routes
as we go to make sure that uh we're

236
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:52,800
keeping the the motorists safe
informational resources we have

237
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:56,560
vdotplows.org
that's where you can track uh some of

238
00:14:54,399 --> 00:15:01,120
your areas and see if we started plowing
in that area

239
00:14:57,839 --> 00:15:03,360
we have our v.511 system i highly
recommend

240
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:08,000
you all following some of that stuff
whether it's on twitter or social media

241
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,720
we are updating those live time during
events i have staff that is designated

242
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,399
to
to only look at va traffic and make sure

243
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:20,000
that the conditions whether it's um
severe

244
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:24,959
uh or moderate conditions or light
conditions whatever it may be they are

245
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:29,519
actively updating that every four to six
hours i believe during

246
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:32,480
the storm so i definitely recommend
everybody using that

247
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:37,680
we have a facebook group that's vdot
fredericksburg district facebook

248
00:15:34,959 --> 00:15:41,600
obviously the virginiadot.org and then
we have the 1 804 road which i recommend

249
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,959
you know for any safety concerns from
your citizens you know please direct

250
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,920
them back to that that stuff comes into
our system

251
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:51,360
we're able to put it in our queue and
track it and get back with people uh

252
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,759
you know it might not always be in the
middle of the storm unless it's a safety

253
00:15:53,600 --> 00:16:09,199
issue but again if there's an emergency
i recommend dialing 911 and we will work

254
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:11,279
with those first responders
you
