CSEPP to receive shelter kits Morrow County's Chemical S to c k p ile E m e rg e n c y Preparedness Program (CSEPP) will receive over 1,200 shelter- in- place kits, according to a CSEPP news release. The kits are* for Morrow County residents living within five miles o f the Umatilla Chemical Depot. The shelter kits, produced by Safe-T-Tek Incorporated of Beaverton, should be delivered to Morrow County Emergency Management by the end of January. The kits contain heavy plastic sheeting to cover doors, windows and vents in a "safe" room, scissors, rope-type putty, duct tape and a towel to place under the door. The kits should be placed in the designated safe room and used only in an emergency, says CSEPP. Morrow County CSEPP had planned to distribute the shelter kits along with the tone alert radios. Delays in the acquisition o f tone alert radios have prompted emergency management officials to reevaluate the distribution process for shelter in place kits, they said. Morrow County Emergency Management is exploring several options for distributing the shelter kits including a bulk mailing. The kits should be available for Morrow County residents by the first week o f February. "Morrow County residents living within five miles of the Depot who want a kit can call me at 922-4437," said Dan Knoll, public information officer for Morrow County.
