COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS CSP

This Collin County, McKinney Texas CSP is the same layout as the other small town Texas pamphlet CSPs but I was not able to scan it because this Collin County CSP is part of the Collin County History Musuem's collection. I visited the museum again in early 2018 (I stopped by there back when I recoverd the packaged disaster items in McKinney in 2001) after I was contacted by one of the volunteers at the museum about a sanitation kit they have. The museum is located in the old post office building in McKinney. The old post office in McKinney was designated as a shelter location and I even have the shipping document which shows that supplies were desigated for that location but the old post office isn't on the Collin County CSP. I believe the old post office was used by Collin County Civil Defense for a time so maybe it wasn't included on the CSP because it served as an operations center? I don't know. One photo of the post office building that the museum has shows a shelter sign on the wall by the west entrance so it was marked publicly as a shelter. If I recall correctly during my first visit to the museum in 2001 I was told by one of the museum staff that the sign pictured below was over the west entrance to the building back when it was used by civil defense.
