This clip includes how they communicated to their families and friends who were outside Rexburg.
TRANSCRIPT: "By mid-Sunday morning a military helicopter had landed and troops were setting up ham radio operations outside the entrance of the Manwaring center to get rescue information in and out. With telephone lines destroyed, many of us needed to reach parents or extended family members to tell them we were OK. Roads were blocked in nearly every direction and access to the campus was restricted.
The communication command center with antennas and equipment were manned by the military in their camo gear. President Henry B. Eyring, the president of the college was also there in combat gear seated at the table monitoring calls and directing communications like a general".
