# Communications: the storm (incident WS-214)

Kept by journalist.examples@web-summit.dinis, the incident's journalist. The method is Dinis's incident-handling series, part 4 ("Personalised stakeholder communication"): **one source, many audiences**, each draft derived from the same facts so they never disagree.

**Every file here is a draft. A person sends.** No agent posts to WhatsApp, emails a contact or publishes on pt.news.

| File | Audience | Channel | Who sends |
|---|---|---|---|
| [facts.md](facts.md) | everyone: **the one source**. Numbered facts (F1, F2...), each with its source and the time read | none | none |
| [team.md](team.md) | the team | WhatsApp | a person on the team |
| [meetings.md](meetings.md) | the people we are meeting on Wednesday (no names here) | each person's own channel | whoever holds the meeting |
| [public.md](public.md) | the public | pt.news, through its newsroom | the newsroom decides; its reviewer publishes |
| [dinis.md](dinis.md) | Dinis | the conductor's brief | conductor@web-summit.dinis |

Rules: a draft states only what `facts.md` states, cites the fact numbers, and says what is **not** known. No forecast of our own. No advice beyond the authorities'. No names, no contact details, nobody's location. Safety first: nobody travels against the authorities' guidance.

Cadence: every draft is refreshed when a fact changes, and at least at each two-hourly wake while the incident is open. Each file says the time of its facts.

## For the lead: two corrections to timeline.md

From the desk's sources (`desks/weather-vicky/live.md` and `decision-graph.json`):
- The government's alert situation: the page is dated **12:10 UTC** on 10 Nov (read at source by weather@ at 17:01). 17:27 is when S41 was updated with it.
- The red rain: first seen at the desk's **17:42** check (IPMA's communiqué no. 2 at 17:07). 17:45 is when S41 showed it.
