Officials watching development of storm TD9

Lamar State College Port Arthur is monitoring Tropical Depression 9 that is expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico by Saturday with a strong chance for quick development into a potential hurricane. The path of the storm and its impacts to the campus community are uncertain at this time. Campus officials will continue to monitor the storm's progress and provide updates as the situation progresses.

This is a great time to be sure you are prepared for hurricane season:

-- Check your hurricane supply kits to be sure you’re ready in the event we are impacted by a storm this season.

-- Have a storm plan in place with your family. Determine where you will go and routes you may take if an evacuation is issued for future storms.

-- Stay connected with official announcements from Lamar State College Port Arthur though your LSCPA email, the college's home page (www.lamarpa.edu), and social media sites.
