This is for the tinfoil users among us. FEMA or civil-unrest detention camp?
WASHINGTON Christmas Valleys former military radar site could be a camp for disaster victims as well as a renewable energy hub if the state of Oregon gets its way.
The 2,622-acre site once held an Air Force radar complex designed to watch for threats across the Pacific Ocean. But the machine was shuttered in 1990, only a few months after it was finished. Since the Air Force announced it would close the radar station in 2005, the military, the Bureau of Land Management and the state have envisioned developing the site for solar or wind power.
Now, the state is also eyeing the land as a depot for emergency supplies or tent encampment for people displaced by natural disasters, said Oregon Emergency Management Director Ken Murphy.
The site is about 95 miles southeast of Bend and far from any large population centers. But thats not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to storing supplies or relocating disaster victims, Murphy said.
To some extent your population centers might not be available, Murphy said. They may be destroyed, they may be contaminated, so I always look for those areas away from population centers.
