The Convention Center we are sustaining food, they have food, security, i have a Management Team inside the city of houston as i speak. And more and more people are being moved to shelters, to stabilize the situation. The next thing is, is that we are pushing commodities once the water goes down.

The disaster in houston is testing the limits of city emergency call center. 911 operators are fielding tens of thousand of calls. Some people are complaining theyre just being put on hold. Jericka duncan reports. Floodwaters are keeping the emergency 911 center busy. Officials say when people call 911 and dont wait to listen and hear for some one it actually creates a backlog. They say, and that could mean, even longer amounts of time for the police and rescue crews. To get to people in need. When harvey moved in. Started dropping amounts of rain in and around houston. Many who rode out the storm, dialed 911 as floodwaters rose. On a regular basis, we get 8,000, 9,000 calls. This morning alone you had 75,000. That is correct. Administration administer at the emergency center. For people stranded are you Getting Police there immediately. How does that work right now . We prepare that for dispatch purposes. And of course, we cant speak for the police, and fire, response. Because theyre tide up with so many emergencies as well. The 911 problem is complicated when people hang up and try calling back. Should they be doing that . No, no, no. Advising people. Go ahead and stay on the line. The worst thing they can do is hang up. Because what ends up happening. All most back at the end of the line. 200 people have been working 12 hour shifts since saturday. Normally 25 people are answering the phones. Stay on the line. The work has become personal. Take a deep breath, maam. Whats keeping you going and motivated. You lost, your car, your home . I love this job. I have been doing this job, 4 1 2 years. And they need help. Coworkers have been working long hours. I need to get here and help them. Aside from dealing with the stress of trying to get people who need to be rescued, the call takers are actually giving an increasing, getting an increasing number of calls about women in labor. Theyre literally talking people lysol max cover kills 99. 9 of bacteria, even on soft surfaces. One more way youve got what it takes to protect. Two kids barfed in class today. It was so gross. Lysol disinfectant spray kills 99. 9 of bacteria, even those that cause stomach bugs. One more way youve got what it takes to protect. It says you apply the blue one ok, letto me. This. Here . No. Have a little fun together, or a lot. Ky yours and mine. Two sensations that work together, so you can play together. We have been talking the enormous scale of the crisis here in houston. Clear by the size of the rescue operations. The coast guard deployed more than 500 Service Members to texas. And more teams are on the way here. Crews have saved more than 2,000 people. So, we got a rare look inside the coast guard houston area command post. And saw true team work in action. Before the coast guard rescue teams can get to work outside in contractions right now. They get marching orders from inside this command post headquarters. Res end we we have transitioned to a call center, back in our conference room. You have had so many calls coming in, you had to set up a separate call center. Correct. We have had everything from Senior Citizens with kids trapped in attics with two feet of clearance left before the water floods the house. We have other people stranded in vehicles. The task seems overwhelming. It can be at times. Yes, maam. Overwhelming too for rescue pilots. Working in the pouring rain. This is air station houston. Whats the biggest challenge for you as a pilot . Biggest challenge the weather right now. Fly low to the ground. A lot of us are familiar with the area. Where the antennae are. Power lines. How risky is it . Very risky. The captain is the Incident Commander in charge of running this entire operation. Theyre operating invisibility, less than a mile in some cases. Winds gusting over 30 miles an hour. It is very dangerous. But the risks and rescues continue. How would you describe the situation out there. I would say a lot of people in trouble. The rescue swimmer and his team helped save a family of three on sunday. But first they had to get them to the only safe place to land this highway. We had to cut through a chain link fence to get out to the highway. About 30 minutes we were able to get to the highway and get her loaded on to the hebl. For some, this is a crisis thats literally hits home. Well have a coast guard members impacted by the storm as well. Some of them have had, been flooded out of their homes. In my home as well. My street, i have 3 feet of water. In flunt of my house. So, we are concerned not only about the public, but coast guard members. Want to make sure theyre safe as well. Now the coast guard has deployed a total of 20 helicopters, from all over the u. S. More than 200 crews and support staff. Theyre also 9 shallow walter rescue teams working with eight more who are on the way. So as the rains continue, and as harvey is expected to come back and deliver more rain, these efforts continue to save lives. But it really was remarkable to see sort of behind the scenes, the coast guard. Heard it from people here, who have been thousand of people in and around houston are trapped by floodwaters. Officials are calling out the cavalry, asking sit snz to get in their boats theyve have them and come to the aid of their neighbors. Hundreds are answering the call. This is state highway, 2 8 underwater. You cannot imagine the detours that there are in city of houston right now. First responders, it can take an hour or two hours just to got to people in need. Folks are turning to social peed yeah to beg for help. Knowing that civilian rescuers may be their only option. I have gotten tweets from people in out of state who are saying, hey, i know you are there reporting, can you go check on the loved one who i havent spoken to since saturday. Civilian rescuers have been doing incredible work. And this morning we give credit where it is due. Where are you . Right here. Calls for help are echoing across houston. Where do they need help . Civilians, were directed to the home in houstons fleetwood neighborhood. You think theyll go upstairs. Do you regret not leaving sooner . Yes. I should have. Susie russell and dale were aweak all night. They were piling up furniture as water poured into their home. We didnt know what, how high it would get. It was concern, get what you can . People are using jet skis, canoes, inner tubes. Mattresses. To bring those to dryer ground. John is traveling from louisiana he wants to assist with the rescue effort. It is going to be bad. We talked about it. At the hotel. Crews arrived with high walter vehicles and bets to evacuate people inside. Strangers, lined up their cars and trucks on a nearby highway. Ready to take anyone to safety. We dont have anything . You know . We lost, everything in our apartment just, really unfortunate. These evacuees are at the mercy of a situation that is beyond their control. I cant tell you anything. What i can tell you is that i can get you to a place where you are going to have, dry clothes, food, and you are going to have a police to sleep for tonight. If you want to come with me. We can get you there. And then, we can worry about what you are t to got to tomorrow. You know the evacuees are having to worry about looters. In nearby fort bend county. Looters impersonating First Responders telling people to evacuate their home and going in and stealing from them.
