As possible.

Across north alabama we are still seeing spot food shortages as stores continue to try to keep up with demand caused by coronavirus concerns.

Like most of us - folks in decatur and morgan county have fewer grocery food choices and they are wondering when will things turn around.

Joining us on the phone is morgan county ema director eddie hicks eddie - good morning.

How bad js the spot food shortage there?

Whats the hardest food item to find?

Any idea when it will improve?

Lets talk about emergency weather preparation now - tuesday you had to open two shelters to slme 600 people because if severe weather.

Iit was tight in those shelters.

How concerned are you that some people may be at risk from coronavirus because of going tk those two shelters?

Has any group stepped up and offered their building as a shelter?

How are you doing with coronavirus testing there?

Do you have enough test kits?

More tests?

Do you anticipate more positive results - given the increased number of treats?

Do you enough supplies for hospitals?

Any shortages that would impact the public?

How long do you think we will have before things start returning to normal?
