  • 2021 Rio Grande Valley/Deep S. Texas Hurricane Guide
    The Official Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas HURRICANE GUIDE 2021 IT ONLY TAKES ONE STORM! weather.gov/rgv A Letter to Residents After more than a decade of near-misses, 2020 reminded the Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas that hurricanes are still a force to be reckoned with. Hurricane Hanna cut a swath from Padre Island National Seashore in Kenedy County through much of the Rio Grande Valley in late July, leaving nearly $1 billion in agricultural and property damage it its wake. While many may now think that we’ve paid our dues, that sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth! The combination of atmospheric and oceanic patterns favorable for a landfalling hurricane in the Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas region can occur in any season, including this one. Residents can use the experience of Hurricane Hanna in 2020 as a great reminder to be prepared in 2021. Hurricanes bring a multitude of hazards including flooding rain, damaging winds, deadly storm surge, and tornadoes. These destructive forces can displace you from your home for months or years, and there are many recent cases in the United States and territories where this has occurred. Hurricane Harvey (2017), Michael (2018, Florida Panhandle), and Laura (2020, southwest Louisiana) are just three such devastating events. This guide can help you and your family get prepared. Learn what to do before, during and after a storm. Your plan should include preparations for your home or business, gathering supplies, ensuring your insurance is up to date, and planning with your family for an evacuation.

  • Presentation on South Texas Border Initiatives
    PRESENTATION ON SOUTH TEXAS BORDER INITIATIVES Teri Flack, Deputy Commissioner Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Before the House Border and International Affairs Committee March 6, 2003 _____________________________________________________ Overview of the South Texas Border Initiatives In 1989, the 71st Texas Legislature began the South Texas/Border Initiative. Appropriations were increased and measures implemented to enhance the scope and quality of higher education institutions and programs along the Texas-Mexico Border. Most people acknowledge that the LULAC v. Richards lawsuit supported by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) was a catalyst for this initiative. The lawsuit alleged that South Texas and Border universities were not getting their fair share of funding from the state. The lawsuit noted differences in quantity and quality of academic programs at these universities compared to those in other areas of the state. Although the Texas Supreme Court overturned a lower court’s ruling in favor of MALDEF, the Legislature decided that it would be in the best interest of the state to enhance the South Texas/Border Region. There is general agreement that nine institutions were a part of the initiative: • Texas A&M International University, • Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, • Texas A&M University-Kingsville, • The University of Texas at Brownsville, • The University of Texas at El Paso, • The University of Texas-Pan American, • The University of Texas at San Antonio, • Sul Ross State University (including Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College), and • The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. In some biennia, Texas Tech University, the University of Houston, and Texas A&M University also received funding to support programs in the Border region as part of the South Texas Border Initiative.

GDP per capita in Mexico City – the country’s second richest region after Campeche, where natural resources significantly contribute to the economy – was more than five times higher than in Chiapas in 2016. Even when resource rich regions such as Campeche or Tabasco are excluded, regional economic disparities in Mexico remain larger than in any other OECD country. However, regional disparities in terms of GDP per capita have slightly decreased in Mexico over the last sixteen years, when the richest and poorest 20% of regions are taken into account. With a productivity growth of 4.4% per year over the period 2010-16, Aguascalientes had the highest productivity growth and strongly converged towards the productivity level of Mexico City, the national frontier in terms of labour productivity (excluding Campeche). Tlaxcala recorded the lowest productivity growth of the country with -1% per year between 2010 and 2016 (excluding Campeche and Tabasco due to fluctuation of natural resource prices).

He told the men . that the govern- ment had reached the limit of its patience; that the children would have to go to school.” Helen went on to relate how “All children of school age were lined up to be registered and taken away to school. Eighty-two children, including [Helen], were taken to the school- house ... with military escort.” Helen Sekaquaptewa, a Hopi girl from Oraibi, was just one of many American Indian children who, from the 1880s up to the 1930s, were forced by U.S.
