It's amazing how different the White House official statement is from the statements of those living the nightmare in East Palestine.[Yes, they will]
The Biden-Harris Administration has mobilized a robust, multi-agency effort to support the people of East Palestine, Ohio.
Within hours of the Norfolk Southern train derailment, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) deployed a team to East Palestine to support state and local emergency and environmental response efforts. The Department of Transportation (DOT) also arrived on scene to investigate what led to the derailment. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been closely coordinating with the emergency operations center, Ohio Emergency Management Agency, and Federal partners.
As President Biden told Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro soon after the derailment, the Federal Government stands ready to provide any additional federal assistance the states may need. Today, in response to Governor DeWine’s and the Ohio congressional delegation’s request on February 16 for additional federal public health support, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced they are deploying a team of medical personnel and toxicologists to conduct public health testing and assessments. The team will support Federal, state, and local officials already on the ground to evaluate individuals who were exposed or potentially exposed to chemicals and help ensure timely communications to the public.
The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to supporting the people of East Palestine every step of the way, and holding Norfolk Southern accountable. Each Federal agency is playing its unique role in this task, including:
Environmental Protection Agency
EPA personnel arrived on site before dawn on February 4 to support state and local officials who are leading the emergency response efforts. There are dozens of EPA personnel on the ground, including multiple EPA on-scene coordinators, agency scientists, and regional teams, that are tasked with:
National Transportation Safety Board and Department of Transportation
- Monitoring Air Quality. The EPA is continuously monitoring air quality using state-of-art equipment. The EPA has also deployed mobile detection equipment and stationary equipment for detection of a wide range of compounds, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phosgene and hydrogen chloride.
- Screening Homes for Contaminants. The EPA has assisted with the indoor air monitoring of 500 homes under a voluntary screening program offered to residents, and no detections of vinyl chloride or hydrogen chloride were identified above levels of concern. EPA is continuing to offer screening to residents within the evacuation zone.
- Securing Norfolk Southern Commitment to Cover Clean Up Costs. On February 10, the EPA issued a letter to Norfolk Southern requiring the railroad to document the release of hazardous contaminants. The letter also outlines cleanup actions at the site and EPA’s authority under the law to hold them accountable.
- Holding Norfolk Southern Accountable for Clean Up. The EPA is coordinating the oversight of Norfolk Southern’s soil remediation of the derailment site. The remediation includes testing of the soils within and immediately surrounding the impacted areas. Results of the testing are evaluated by EPA and OH EPA to determine a strategy to ensure the site is cleaned up to meet federal and state regulations.
- Helping Ensure Water is Safe to Drink. EPA is assisting state and local agencies to test surface and ground water to ensure drinking water is safe. This includes surface water testing to monitor downstream impacts on the Ohio River.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), an independent federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the U.S. and significant accidents in other modes of transportation—including railroad, highway, marine, and pipelines, and Department of Transportation arrived on site within hours of the derailment. The NTSB is leading the investigation into the cause of the derailment with Department of Transportation personnel supporting. Once the investigation is complete, the Federal Government will use all available and appropriate authorities to further ensure accountability and improve rail safety. Ongoing actions include:
- Investigating the Cause of the Derailment. The National Transportation Safety Board has been on site since within hours of the derailment to determine what caused the derailment. NTSB plans to submit preliminary findings report within weeks, and a final report that will lay out what caused the derailment. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) within DOT are also on site supporting the NTSB’s investigation.

Trump is accomplishing WHAT, in East Palestine, Ohio? More donations for his organization?
Ten percent for the Big Guy. Once a THIEF always a THIEF. The Biden name will soon be the preferred synonym for THIEF.No one really asks why the current administration has never tried to foster peace in Ukraine and Russia. It immediately went to "we will give them everything they need for as long as it takes" and has stayed there ever since. No trying to hold a group meet, no calls for peace, no nothing. Just all in with Ukraine.
It's also not ever mentioned up until the Russian invasion Ukraine was for decades known all over the world was one of the top, if not the top, most corrupt countries in the world. Why are we so heavily invested in throwing everything to them?

Putin does not want a talk. He wants Ukraine to be defeated, to cry "Uncle".No one really asks why the current administration has never tried to foster peace in Ukraine and Russia.

No, He doesn't have to be in Ukraine, you brain dead POS. He is the American POTUS--we have NO business in Ukraine. But I guess you'd rather see your tax $$ spent in other countries. Your ilk chant "America Last"
It's amazing how different the White House official statement is from the statements of those living the nightmare in East Palestine.
Per Joe Manchin
"Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said he was glad that Regan visited the site, but it was "unacceptable that it took nearly two weeks for a senior administration official to show up″ in Ohio."
And the clean up will begin when it is 'safe' for the experts.
Putin does not want a talk. He wants Ukraine to be defeated, to cry "Uncle".
If you do not know, or care to do the proper research about Ukraine and Russia, than you may never find out.
Russia is more important. That it wanted to take Ukraine and then other countries which used to be under the USSR banner........oh, never mind.
Thanks for the ignorant response.Trotting out the propagandist 'Domino Theory' we used in Vietnam that never materialized, I see!
Thanks for the ignorant response.
[Yes, they will]
