Earthquake in Panama

Today the Central-American nation of Panama was rocked by a massive 7.7 earthquake. 1^st DHAM immediately began heading toward Panama to offer assistance, even though details about the extent of the damage and casualties are not yet known. Also unknown is the status of the Panama Canal. This is, however, what the SHAM was created for. It will head to the area at top speed and render whatever aid is needed.

1^st SHAM had been in Haiti when the earthquake struck – about 800 miles away.
