The Jefferson County CSP reflects the dependence for shelt~r on the utilization
of the shelter complexes at Fort Worden and Fort Flagler. These shelters in
general need considerable improvement for ideal usage. The western portion of
the county is entirely dependent on home shelters as there is not a sing~e shelter
on the coastal area.
The Washington State Department of Civil Defense would like to take this opportunity
to thank the various Jefferson County officials and departments as well as the incor-
porated city departments for their contributions of time and personnel in the formu-
lation period of this plan.
G. Official Adoption.
1. The Board of County Commissioners adopted, ~ J " , ~ I I q Ie \?, all step
reports, "slant technique" resolution, updatin di~e and public informa-
tion brochure. It is hoped that Federal Funding will be provided in the tmmed-
iate future.
