Masks for non-medical use will be distributed free at the Eastosund Fire Hall on Wednesday, June 13

From Brendan Cowan, Director County Department of Emergency Management

As part of a delivery of simulated disaster supplies happening on Wednesday, two large stockpiles of N95 respirator face masks will be available for the taking by any islanders who might have use of them.

They are not recommended for medical settings, but may be useful to those sanding, painting, or landscaping on a regular basis.

Masks will be available after noon outside of the Town of Friday Harbor Fire Station on West St. or the main Orcas Fire Station in Eastsound.

Questions, please call 370-7612.
