U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan and officials visited East Palestine on Thursday afternoon following a recent train derailment that has left many community members concerned. During the visit, Regan met with city, state and federal leaders as well as community members regarding the impacts of the derailment. “All families need to know that they are safe. All families deserve access to clean air and safe drinking water," said Regan. "I want this community to know that they don’t have to manage this issue on their own. As President Biden told Gov. DeWine, anything the state needs, we will be there to help.” Meanwhile, on the same day that he requested federal help amid the fallout, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine sent a letter to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requesting medical experts be sent to the Columbiana County village "to evaluate and counsel members of the community who have questions and/or are experiencing symptoms." "This request for medical experts includes, but is not limited to, physicians and behavioral health specialists," DeWine's letter reads. "Some community members have already seen physicians in the area but remain concerned about their condition and possible health effects -- both short and long-term."
