appropriately and also prepare for ft. buchanan and the support of the services here as well. harris: i want to talk specifically about that river situation that rick had said the river may crest, what, 20 feet above where it normally would because of all the flooding. you re talking about infrastructure. are there any dams or anything shoring up some of that water that you re particularly concerned about? we do know that there is a reservoir that has had some challenges and they ve had to release water. i don t have the particulars on it. i believe some of the good news is that i have been told that most of the airports will likely come back online friday. harris: are you going to get people off that island? i know army srefrb and u.s. coast guard were pulling people from other islands during hurricane irma. many went here to puerto rico for a few days so they could wait for the storm to pass, while it devastated other places. true. american reserves stand prepared
