Emergency Meeting of the Board of Aldermen

Mayor Dan Camp has called an emergency meeting of the Board of Aldermen to discuss the weather and what precautions the city is taking. Currently all non-essential personnel are being allowed to leave work. I checked with the Red Cross, which has set up emergency shelters at Herbert Hall on campus and the First Methodist church, and at noon they already had 38 people signed up to stay there. They have enough beds and supplies however to accommodate a fairly large crowd. I will report on the results of the board meeting after it is over.
