They were told to call 911 because that's what they tell us to call people. We enter the information we get into the web EOC logs when someone calls over the radio and someone will get the info and respond but 911 will get a much quicker response, I believe. I'm told that there is approximately a 10 minute hold time on 911 and to not hang up. Calling back just puts you at the end of the queue again. I'm sorry if you feel we're a bunch of ambulance Chasers, what does that even mean? Applied to ARES? I mean if we were attorneys I'd get it? We get calls of road flooding, damage, and so on. We put it all into the computer and where it goes from there I don't know.
