Annual emergency preparedness exercise April 12

The annual Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness  Program (CSEPP) exercise will be held Tuesday, April 12. This exercise allows  local, state and federal emergency agencies to practice their response to a  simulated event at the Umatilla Chemical Depot and to have that response effort  federally evaluated.

After 20 years of emergency preparedness exercises associated with CSEPP,  this year’s exercise is expected to be the last CSEPP exercise because of  projected completion of the disposal of HD mustard chemical agent at the  Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility near Hermiston by the end of this  year.
