Update — Sept. 24, 9:00 AM
The SEU Emergency Response Team is actively monitoring Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine, which is likely to develop into Hurricane Helene as it moves northward across the Gulf of Mexico.
A tropical storm watch has been issued by the National Weather Service for all of Polk County, Florida, including the Southeastern University campus. A tropical storm watch means tropical storm-force winds are possible somewhere within this area within the next 48 hours.
The SEU Emergency Response Team will meet regularly to monitor the developing storm and provide updates. At this time, normal business operations will continue as scheduled. Updates will be shared about any changes to campus schedules or events, if warranted, as soon as they are available. Critical information will also be sent through the SEU Alerts system if the situation warrants.
