 shelter-in-place type declarations. This is very similar to a shelter-in-place, but we're calling it a stay-home-work-safe because we've made a lot of adjustments to our declaration that enables safe working environments to continue, commerce to continue, while at the same time minimizing risks. And just as we talked about yesterday, our order talks a lot about non-essential services need to close, and essential services can remain open. Essential are the easy ones, fire, police, ambulances, critical infrastructure, grocery stores, gasoline, healthcare providers, and the list is very lengthy. And then when you get to non-essential, it becomes a little more complicated. So we're encouraging people to go to our website and to look at the actual declaration. In the back of it, there's a table and it lists all of the different businesses and whether they are essential or non-essential. The other is every business is going to have a unique situation, and so we're encouraging you to take advantage of our helpline, and that number is 817-392-8478. If you didn't write it down, you can go to the website and get it off the website. And then the other is you can send an email to COVID-19 all together at Fort Worth, Texas dot gov. I'll ask the fire chief to come up and have a few words for you. Thank you, Brandon. I just wanted to say a couple things very quickly, and then I'll pass it on to the police chief. Tonight, for 125 years, the Fort Worth Fire Department has stood in this community side by side with you as the community providing emergency services. That, with all the changes that are going on in our community, it remains. It will not change. Tonight, there's 250 members of the Fort Worth Fire Department, men and women, that are in firehouses across the city. They're working with other community resources such as the Fort Worth Police and MedStar to continue to provide that service. And that, they are committed to. They are coming to work, and I thank them and I thank their families for continuing to support the mission of the Fort Worth Fire Department. Although we continue to have a complexity and a changing situation that is very fluid, very dynamic, we, it's really important for us to assure you that we are working to make sure that we think not just about what's going on today, but steps forward, steps in the next week and in the next month as to where we see and what we can anticipate potentially happening. We want the public to have the confidence in us that we are working to keep our members safe and to keep them in the game to provide services to you and to make sure that we take into account the things that we very well may see moving forward. But that complexity does not mean that we are not prepared to do what we have to do to keep this community safe and to call on resources throughout the Metroplex that we're all communicating and working together. We stand with you, but we also need you to stand with us, and we need you to do your part to help us help you. And that includes the things that the Mayor has asked today by sheltering, staying in your home and enjoying the family and environment that you can without congregating in the community. You also need to understand that we will continue to respond to your 911 calls, although we very well may be responding in ways that are new and out of the norm for what you are accustomed to. Those can include discussing and solving your problem over the phone through telemedicine and through video conferencing and not necessarily just transporting you or coming immediately to your house when you pick up the phone in 911. Today, we are beginning to determine what the complexity of the situation is challenging us to do and how we need to respond to that to maximize our resources, to take care of the most critically ill and to ensure all of you are still taking care of appropriately, safely and within accepted practices considering the challenging times that we have. And I'll end before I have the Police Chief come up by saying again, nobody is going to be left behind here in this the Fort Worth Fire Department, the City of Fort Worth stands ready to work with our community partners to make sure that the systems that are in place support the missions that we need to keep you the public safe. So Chief, if you don't mind. Good afternoon, Fort Worth. I'm your Police Chief Ed Krause here today to tell you that we're here to support you. We care for you and your family. And we're going to keep our officers out on the streets serving you doing the thing they do best in taking care of you. They're there to respond to your 911 calls. As Chief Davis said, we are implementing new ways to respond to calls for service, including using webcams for our officers to interact over the Internet. Also, we'll be answering calls by phone with some of our officers. It may feel like fear has gripped our community, but there's no time to panic. We've been preparing and planning, and the panic is the last thing we want to do. Panic has never made any situation better. If you need 911 services, pick up the phone and call. We're here for you. Our Joint Emergency Operations Center has been staffed with members from just about every city department, as well as partners from the county, Texas Department of Public Safety, and many other entities that are here to serve you. The mayor has asked that everybody stay home. That's the best thing we can do. Questions have been asked about how we are going to enforce this, and we're going to first take an education approach to this. We want to make sure that when we encounter people in violation of the order that we are informing them about this order so that they may adhere to it, we get amazing compliance from the citizens and residents of Fort Worth. When we ask them to do something, they step up and do it, and we appreciate that. By staying home, you're freeing up the police officers to go out and interact with those individuals who willfully choose not to obey the law. We don't expect the criminals are going to stay home just because this order has been issued, but we want to be out there to address them to keep the community safe, and your adherence to the stay home order is going to make that job easier for us. As leaders of this great city, we care for you, we care for your families, and we want to keep you all informed about the changes that happen. In my own personal life, I rely on faith, family, and the knowledge that the police officers that I work with and that work for you are out there serving faithfully. Joshua 1-9 says, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with you always wherever you go. And we're here for you as well. Thank you. Thank you, Chief. Very timely discourse and information for us. I want to close tonight by pointing out a couple of things that are really important, that we talk about declarations, we talk about laws, we talk about process, we talk about procedure. And I think one way that we can close really well tonight is let's just get down to the nitty-gritty of what's going on at this juncture in time. And that is, this virus does not discriminate. It doesn't discriminate on whether you're an essential business or a non-essential business. And there is evidence across the entire world, very good, very honest, hard-working people are losing their lives because of this virus. You cannot afford nor can your neighbors or anyone else afford to be operating off a gut feeling. The science and the scientists, the research and the researchers, the medicine and the doctors are all saying the same exact thing. And that is the better job that you do to isolate yourself from other people, the less risk there is to your health and the health of others. And so please, please, please, please help our police department, not having to chase calls about violations of the declaration by complying with the declaration. Keep yourself healthy so that the fire department and the hospitals can continue to render aid to those who need the aid the greatest. And in the words of the mayor, we'd like you to stay safe, we'd like you to stay healthy, and you all need to stay home.
