WEBVTT JIM: WE WANT TO GET YOU LIVE PICTURES IN OUR CONTINUING COVERAGE OF HURRICANE MICHAEL. THESE PICTURES ARE FROM PANAMA CITY. THIS IS ANOTHER PICTURE OF A BUILDING THAT COULD NOT STAND UP TO THE STORM. 320,000 PEOPLE WHO WERE TOLD TO EVACUATE DID NOT. THERE ARE ABOUT 6000 PEOPLE IN SHELTERS IN FIVE STATES THAT STAND TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL IN SHELTERS FROM HURRICANE FLORENCE. HURRICANE WARNINGS HAVE ALL BEEN CANCELED NOW THAT MICHAEL HAS MOVED INTO GEORGIA. SUMMER: JOINING US BY PHONE IS THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR IN JACKSON COUNTY IN THE PANHANDLE. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT IS NEXT. >> THE WORST AS FAR AS THE STORM HAS PASSED, BUT THE NEXT CHAPTER IS RECOVERY. DAMAGES UNBELIEVABLY EXTENSIVE. WE’RE TRAPPED IN OUR CENTER BECAUSE THE WIND IS STILL BLOWING. WE ARE TRYING TO GET OUT OF HERE SO WE CAN START TO MAKE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS DOWN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. WE ARE WORKING TO TRY TO CUT A PATH OUT SO WE CAN SEE WHAT WE HAVE GOT. WE’RE TOLD THAT DOWNTOWN HAS SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NOT HAD REPORTS OF DEATHS, BUT THAT IS A POSSIBILITY. JIM: YES, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPORTS OF DEATHS SO FAR, WHICH IS REMARKABLE. RODNEY, WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE MOVING FORWARD? >> GETTING THE POWER BACK ON AND WATER SUPPLY. WE ARE WORKING WITH PLACES TO SET UP STAGING AREAS. WE DO HAVE PODS FOR DISTRIBUTION. BUT DAMAGE HAS BEEN SO EXTENSIVE, THEY MAY BE COMPROMISED AND WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR ALTERNATE SOURCES. SUMMER: YOU SAID WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY DEATHS, BUT HAVE YOU BEEN RECEIVING EMERGENCY CALLS WITH PEOPLE GETTING OUT AND ABOUT? >> NOT SO MUCH GETTING OUT AND ABOUT, BUT PEOPLE ASKING US TO COME HELP THEM GET OUT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE DAMAGE IS SO EXTENSIVE, EVERY ROAD IS BLOCKED WITH DEBRIS. WE ARE TRYING TO WORK OUR WAY OUT. WE WILL BE REACHING OUT TO THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO LET THEM KNOW WHERE WE ARE. WE ARE TRYING TO PUSH FORWARD TO GET SUPPLIES TO PEOPLE, BUT PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL AFFECTED, AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME. JIM: THAT
