Reporting Plan for Sector 4

Greetings from Christmas Island in Jamaica!

Finally I can announce a reporting plan in our lead up to Santa’s launch. Our sector is so unique that we need to do it two ways: a plan for South America and most of the Atlantic, and another plan for Greenland and the North Atlantic.

First, for everyone in the Sector:

Weather reports: All elves in the sector going forward should send in a weather report each Tuesday from now until December. It will likely change then.

Second, for South America, the Caribbean, and south of the equator in the Atlantic:

Roof Report: It’s Hurricane season, so be careful. We want to get these reports done by the end of September.
Local Christmas Report: Every week on Saturday between now and Halloween. Special request from Santa for some reason.

Third, for Greenland and north of the equator in the Atlantic:

Chimney Inspections: Watch weather conditions, be safe. We have time to get these done but the sooner the better.
Public Observation: This is different than a Local Christmas Report. Another special request from Santa. We need this about every two weeks going forward, your choice of what day of the week.

This is all we need unless the test flights of Santa’s sleigh come back into our sector soon, which I have not heard about.

We’re keeping it simple this year. Be sure to check in at least once a week for breaking news.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.
