A
B
Emergency
operation
center
is
an
arlington
county
office
that
can
stand
up
in
the

In

anything
county

provide
the
needed
response
and.
A
I
got
a
call
two
in
the
morning.
I
think
it
was
open
by
four
or
five
and
on
Saturday
morning
and
staffs
from
working
around
the
clock.
Here

know,
the
biggest
thing
you
have
to
worry
about
is
dehydration
and
the
heat
would
particularly
with
our
elves
of
elderly
residents,
and
we
were
checking
in
on
them.
We
were
going
door-to-door.
