At a 7:00 a.m. meeting, they announced shower rooms for anyone not staying in the hospital would be Units 5D13, 5D14, 5D15, and 5D16. There are supposed to be towels there but if you have your own I would take it because I couldn’t find any when I walked through about 30 min ago. I would suggest the shower sooner than later as the winds are picking up already. I also told the group we would be staying housed in Admin during the storm and so far that is the plan.

This morning’s timeline:

There is a 9:00 a.m. meeting for all staff who would like to attend in the cafeteria with our leadership (Drs. Callender, Sexton, & Richardson) to get an update and ask questions.

David, Steve, and I will be attending a 10:30 a.m. conference call with the State of Texas in the Emergency Operations Center. A UTMB meeting about storm plans and preparations will follow.

At 11:30 a.m. this morning, we will have another IS meeting in 4.100 Admin to update everyone on what we heard at 10:30 a.m. We will also open a conference call line for staff outside Galveston to hear what is going on. Anyone copied is welcome to call in (forward as necessary). The number is 877-226-9790 and the access code is 3060078. We will be using this for all conference calls during the storm so keep it handy.

Let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. Thanks…Todd.
