I received the following alert from Northampton County Emergency Management Services today that I thought I'd share with you:
For your information and awareness.
Between May 20th and May 29th, 2009 there will be a nationwide mass mailing of 178,000 envelopes from the Bayer Aspirin Company.
Approximately 33,561 of these envelopes will contain a sample of Bayer Aspirin Crystals, which is a white powder. Area police departments, EMT's, and hospitals should be aware of these mailings and the potential to present as "white powder" calls. In addition, private sector mail rooms should be aware that these envelopes may be coming through their respective facilities.
As always if you are suspicious of the source please contact your local law enforcement.
Thank you,
Robert F. Mateff, Sr., ENP
Director
If you're not on the distribution list already (you should be), you can sign-up here. The service is free, and you can choose a number of different notification methods (e.g. SMS message, email, or, for the most critical alerts, a voice call).
