reveal vivid aspects of the
Oregon experience. Although
they represent individual voices,
these forms of literary expression
help determine our common

The Red Cross and Mor-
row/Umatilla counties Emergen
cy Management have entered in
to an agreement that will improve
the counties’ ability to provide
shelter for residents displaced
during an emergency. 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
