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.
