Subject: Notice to employees on storm preparations

To Employees:

The City of Houston has begun preparations for Tropical Storm Edouard, which is expected to arrive along the Texas Coast during the early morning hours of Tuesday August 5th. Due to the expected intensity and nature of the storm, Mayor Bill White has determined that some non-emergency city services will be suspended.

Mayor Bill White directs that *only* those employees designated as "essential personnel" report for business on Tuesday August 5.

All City of Houston employees should monitor media (local radio and television) and follow departmental communications plans to determine when to report to work.

We will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day and night and expect to have further updates as warranted.

Meanwhile, supervisors are encouraged to review the City's Administrative Procedures 2-3, pertaining to Severe Weather and other Emergency Conditions.

Employees should check with their supervisors to confirm their designation as "essential personnel” and "non-essential personnel."

Bill White,
Mayor
