MRC members push for public outreach, drills after tanker traffic, rescue-tug questions raised
Clallam County MRC members discussed rising tanker and hazardous-cargo traffic, the uncertain siting and timing of a rescue tug, and local emergency‑management readiness, and they recommended developing outreach materials and regular drills to improve local preparedness. Alan Clark raised outreach as a priority, saying, "I was even thinking making a short video ... or a PowerPoint 10 to 15 slide PowerPoint that we can take around and show to folks like the Yacht Club and other groups to kind of raise the level of consciousness about this again." Members described past incidents and local response gaps, including phone and coordination problems during a recent Indian Creek incident, and encouraged a practical, low‑cost approach: produce concise materials that can be shown to civic organizations and pursue state or federal funding for response drills. Several members suggested inviting one or more relevant agencies (Coast Guard, Marine Exchange, county emergency management) to present or to join a local briefing; the committee proposed drafting a short presentation to use as a community outreach tool and organizing a January meeting to introduce the topic publicly. Ending: The committee asked interested members to prepare an outreach presentation and meet with staff to plan whether to request county support for annual drills and to seek briefing speakers for a future meeting.
