Valuable information is shared on these walks about the container program, safe houses, go bags, etc. For Nancy’s recaps and George’s photos, see <a href="http://www.Cannon-Beach.net/events/EvacuationRouteWalk">www.Cannon-Beach.net/events/EvacuationRouteWalk</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>12.
