Thanks, Ryan. And Jaz, I'll come back to your next one, but since this is sort of on the same thing, a question from Alex Solomon of KTOO: How many households are in the is the evacuation zone shown on the new evacuation maps, and, and do we know how many more is that than last year? That's a good question, Alex. It's quite a bit more than last year. So this year we're advising evacuation for just over 1,900.
