While it may be the start of the Spring
Semester, several members of the Tarleton
State University student body, faculty and
staff have begun to make plans for spring
break. Tarleton’s Leadership and Service
is no exception, as they have now opened
registration for students to sign up for the
2019 Alternative Spring Break trip to Panama
City, Florida. The purpose of this trip will be
to allow students to volunteer for Hurricane
Michael relief efforts going on in Panama City.
According to Erin Warner the Community
Service and Food Pantry coordinator,
Alternative Spring Break Coordinator, the
and a minimum pressure 919 mb.” The report
also mentions a majority of the catastrophic
damage due to wind and storm surge occurring
in the Panama City beach area. As a result of
this catastrophic damage, 60 percent of the
houses in Panama City have been destroyed,
per a release from the Miami Herald. The
release also highlights the two hospitals in
the region that continue to be closed as well
as how a large crowd of people are currently
making a tent-filled church parking lot their
new home.
Even after the Hurricane three months later,
Panama City is still in need of relief. Warner
hopes to take a group of students to Panama
City as to not only convey the Core Value of
Service

trip will commence on March 9, following
the Friday before spring break, and will
end on March 14, the Thursday of Spring
Break. Warner adds that the motivation and
work involved in this trip is no different in
comparison to last year’s Alternative Spring
Break trip to Liberty, Texas for Hurricane
Harvey relief, but does emphasize that,
“Hurricane Michael almost leveled Panama
City Beach.”
This comment rings true, as a preliminary
report from the National Weather Service
and the National Oceanic and Atmosphere
Administration described Hurricane Michael
when it made landfall in the Florida Panhandle
region on Oct 10, 2018 as “an unprecedented
high-end Category 4 Hurricane...with
maximum sustained wind speed of 155 mph
