i was on the phone with john mcdonald, he is greatly concerned about -- 12-13 feet of storm surge there. we have to act now. we have launched our state assistance information line. 800-342-3557. residents can call and find out about how to prepare. road closures, alternate routes available, open shelters. shelters designed for medically dependent individuals and reentry information once it is safe to return. you can get up-to-date information on our website. we were with the cfo and i would reiterate what he said earlier today. take pictures of your home now. so that when the storm happens if you have damage, you have before and after pictures. take pictures of the interior part of your home as well. then please do not be taken advantage of after the storm. make sure you don't do any cash transactions, don't sign anything. if you have any issues when it comes to insurance, you can always call the cfo's office. he will certainly help you out through all of that. heed warnings, do smart things, evacuate right now if you need to do so and the governor as always, thank you for your leadersh
