We do not have active tracking of who's evacuated or who hasn't evacuated. And again, this is one of the primary reasons that we're asking folks to self-evacuate before the event. In the event of a HESCO breach, our— one of our top priorities would be accounting for everyone who may have stayed behind. The more people that there are that have, that have made that choice, the more difficult that work will be, the more time it will take to get to folks who are experiencing real-life emergencies and need that assistance. So again, the best way to keep yourselves and your neighbors safe is to evacuate when it comes time.
