This agree ment will be the first of its kind in the nation and could become a model for disaster response at all of the Army’s chemical weapons storage facilities in the United States. In the unlikely event of a chemical accident at the Umatilla Army Depot, or a natural disaster, such as a wildfire or flood, residents may have to evaculate. Residents displaced by house fires need shelter too. Dur ing a chemical weapons incident evacuees would be sent to shelters in Heppner, The Dalles and Pendleton. Morrow County Emergency Manager Casey Beard says the Red Cross is the agency best- suited to run the shelters. “ They are traditionally responsible for doing this work at all Army depot sites. They have the expertise, the volunteers and the resources to actually run the shelters.” Right now. Morrow County doesn’t have an active Red Cross chapter. To enhance Red Cross’ response capacity, the Army has approved a $40,000 grant to hire a full-time Red Cross disaster- response manager and pay for training materials. This person will be responsible for reviewing and updating current shelter plans, identifying new shelter WANTED Jack and Jill tourney IONE AUCTION f B A R M Saturday , June Workday set for Hardman cemetery Fair board makes plans for fair Crushed Rock For Sale Happy Birthday M orrow County Medical Services WHQffLWID Crop Insurance Here: Why?
