Hurricane Gustav Contingency Plan

There is a chance that Hurricane Gustav could interfere with the travel itineraries of the thirteen of us who are scheduled to leave from Montgomery Tuesday morning. However, we probably will not know until Monday whether our flight from Montgomery to Memphis will be canceled.

We do have a contingency plan in place. We are making reservations for two 15-passenger vans that, if necessary, will take the Montgomery group up to Henderson Monday afternoon. Freed-Hardeman can house the group Monday night, and we can then proceed to Memphis Tuesday morning to catch the next leg of the flight to Detroit.

Students leaving from Montgomery need to be prepared to come to campus, packed for departure, on Monday morning if Northwest Airlines issues a weather alert for Montgomery. We will immediately notify everyone as soon as an alert goes out.

In the meantime, pray for all those in the path of the hurricane.
