    • For weather delay alerts by phone, the system dials the user's telephone number. Then, the following occurs:
      • If the user answers the call, a robotic voice alerts the user of the weather delay and identifies the project by name.
      • If the user declines the call, the system alerts the user of the weather delay by leaving a voice mail message.
      • If the user misses the call, the system alerts the user of the weather delay by leaving a voice mail message.
    • For weather delay alerts by email, the system sends an email message to the address on the user's record.
