Emergency cache program launched in Gearhart
Storage barrels
will be available to
residents for a fee

Barrels like this one will be available to Gearhart residents for a fee, to be stored near the
reservoir site east of U.S. Highway 101.
“You bring them. You
pack them. We store them.”
So read the fl yers avail-
able at Gearhart City Hall as
Gearhart offers residents the
opportunity to store personal
belongings in a cache stor-
age area near the city’s water
tank on Salminen Road.
Residents will have the
option to purchase and
house cache containers, to
be stored in a large conex
bin. The contents are deter-
mined by residents and
meant to provide emergency
supplies.
“People will buy the
drums and then rent the
space,” City Administra-
tor Chad Sweet said at the
Wednesday, Jan. 8, City
Council meeting.
Suggested storage items
include tents or tarps, sleep-
ing bags, water storage con-
tainers, warm clothing, fi rst-
aid kit, sanitation supplies,
batteries and cookware.
“We’d like this to be a
supplement to your 72-hour
bag,” Sweet said. “At home,
nearby or in your car, every-
one should have a pack that
gets you through the next
three days.”
A 30-gallon poly-plastic
drum with lid will be stored
at a cost $40 per year.
Barrels are available for
purchase between $60 and
$80.
The city owns two cargo
containers 20-feet long
placed on the concrete pad
at the site of the water tank.
Staff will have access and
be able to pull people’s bar-
rels twice a year to allow
changes.
The evacuation site will
open for owners to add,
remove or rotate their per-
sonal cache items twice each
year, in April and October.
“In an emergency, the
containers will be accessi-
ble by key to the emergency
managers of the town,
police chief, fi re chief,
maybe a CERT (Commu-
nity Emergency Response
Team) member, we’re still
working that out,” Sweet
said.
The program is expand-
able, depending on how
many residents sign up.
While gasoline, kerosene
or plastic water bottles will
not be permitted, fi rearms
will also be accepted for
storage, Sweet said. “We’ve
decided not to restrict those.
We’re more worried about
liquid fuels.”
To prevent vandalism,
“there will be a camera sys-
tem and some very good
locks,” he added.
