User Submission Rules

Updated September 21, 2026 · StormCall.ca

Before submitting, remove phone numbers, email addresses, employee numbers, addresses, private personal information, and unrelated private conversations. Only submit information you have the right to share.

Do not submit

• Another person’s private information, employee numbers, private phone numbers, private email addresses or home addresses.
• Unrelated private conversations or identifying information hidden in a screenshot or image metadata.
• Harassment, threats or abusive content.
• Intentionally false storm-call information.
• Impersonation of contractors, utilities, unions, administrators or other people.
• Illegal material, or content you do not have the right to distribute.

Share only what is needed

Summarize the relevant call details, include when you received them and distinguish a potential call from issued dispatch instructions. Remove private content before uploading. Any public contractor contact details must be authorized business contacts, not someone’s private number. Link to original weather or news sources rather than copying full articles.

Review and publication

Storm-call submissions stay private until an authorized reviewer approves a public version. Screenshots submitted as evidence remain private to reviewers. An admin separately controls any public board image. Reviewers may reject, redact, edit public descriptions, change status labels or remove content. Approval alone does not establish a confirmed dispatch.

You retain rights in your content while allowing the limited use described in the Terms. Ask for correction or removal through Report Content. Include the post reference or link without reposting sensitive information. Confirm every dispatch directly with the contractor.
