On behalf of Severe Weather Team 2, I would like to welcome you to Stormwatch 2009-2010. We look forward to working with you again to provide your parents and students with the most immediate, accurate information about your schools’ status during inclement weather.

As you know, we automated our system in order to give you direct access to the system without the need to work through operators on our end. This speeds up the process of getting the information to air and puts you in charge. To access it, you dial 404-897-6450 on a touchtone phone, then follow the recorded instructions to close, delay or reopen your facilities. Enter the code most closely associated with your status:

Code Status 0 Open 1 Closed 2 Closed, Staff report 3 Closed, 12 month staff report 4 Delayed 1 hour 5 Delayed 2 hours 6 Closed 1 hour early 7 Closed 2 hours early 8 Closed this evening 9 Closed tomorrow

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST HAVE YOUR ID NUMBER AND PASSWORD TO ACCESS THE SYSTEM. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ID/PASSWORD OR HOW TO ACCESS THE SYSTEM, PLEASE CONTACT PAUL POWERS AT 404-897-6276 TO SERVE YOU BETTER THIS YEAR, WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE US THE EMAIL ADDRESSES OF YOUR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS AND PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER CONTACTS. We will use this information to send out messages several days in advance of the storm, advising you of our meteorologists’ forecasts of severe weather.

Please be aware that day care closings will only be posted on the Web, not on WSB-TV.

Thank you for participating in Stormwatch 2009-2010. We look forward to serving you.

Regards,

Glenn Burns Chief Meteorologist
