Hello,

Due to flooding situation in Cedar Rapids, I need to alert you to a possibility 
that Iowa AEA Online web site might be unavailable with the same scenario 
holding true for the IEC website.


Here is information from Jerry Cochrane as of 10:30 am this morning:

The Grant Wood building I am in is without electricity but is above the flood 
levels. They are predicting that the main Grant Wood AEA office could have 2-3 
feet of water in the main floor. They are closing the main building this 
morning. Flood levels are expected to be four feet higher than ever recorded in 
history. If the worse case scenario happens, our servers will be down, which 
means the Iowa AEA Online website will be down.


If you are planning on utilizing one of the Iowa AEA Online databases during 
the flooding, I suggest having the direct URLs to the separate databases as an 
alternative:
    
    Accuweather    https://wwwl.accuweather.com/premium_login.php

    Atomic Learning    http://movies.atomiclearning.com/k12/home

    Clipart.com    http://schools.clipart.com/

    EBSCO    http://search.ebscohost.com/

    AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive    http://ap.accuweather.com/

    SIRS Researcher    http://auth.proquestk12.com/IA/

    DE Streaming    http://streaming.discoveryeducation.com/

    World Book Online    http://www.worldbookonline.com/



Hopefully no precautions/adjustments will be necessary, but just in case, it is 
better to be prepared.

Harriet
