00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:07.870
>> I received a request from New
Hanover Emergency Operations Center,

00:00:07.870 --> 00:00:10.430
and they requested to see
if we had space

00:00:10.430 --> 00:00:12.130
to host a task force
from Indiana.

00:00:13.550 --> 00:00:17.350
Due to the nature of the storm,
we agreed to open our facility

00:00:17.350 --> 00:00:20.560
to help them stage and conduct search
and rescues in the community.

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:22.810
>> Working with the CBP here
has been fantastic.

00:00:23.610 --> 00:00:27.630
There's only two personnel
so far here from their team;

00:00:27.630 --> 00:00:29.580
I understand
there's more on their way.

00:00:30.260 --> 00:00:32.570
But the two that are here
have gone way out of their way

00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:34.270
to provide everything we need.

00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:37.820
>> A staging area
like this very important.

00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:41.030
It gives the responders
a nice, safe, secure environment

00:00:41.030 --> 00:00:43.100
so they can go out,
conduct their operations,

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:45.630
come back, rest up,
and go back out the next day.

00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:51.010
The partnership with FEMA is, you know,
they are one of the DHS components,

00:00:51.010 --> 00:00:54.290
so we are more than happy to support,
whether it's FEMA Main,

00:00:54.290 --> 00:00:56.500
or one of their task forces
to come in.

00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.700
We're all here to help the community;
that is our number one priority.
