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 | everyone: the one source. Numbered facts (F1, F2...), each with its source and the time read | none | none |
| team.md | the team | a person on the team | |
| meetings.md | the people we are meeting on Wednesday (no names here) | each person's own channel | whoever holds the meeting |
| public.md | the public | pt.news, through its newsroom | the newsroom decides; its reviewer publishes |
| 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):
