So, what is the role of the Water Professional during tragic events like the East Palestine train derailment?
The train derailment on February 3, 2023 in East Palestine, Ohio is another example of a combination of conditions and problems that are plaguing the United States of America. During the early stages after the accident, the main objective is to understand the what, how, why, and current conditions as well as to determine how to first minimize the risk and further damage to life, the environment, and property. With the exception of the first responders and clean-up professionals, (i.e., the experts in responding to clean-up events that require health and safety and OSHA trained Hazwoper - Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) professionals, my recommendation is to follow this process: Listen to emergency personnel, Work to “Get the Facts”, Always “Be a Professional” when assessing, and “Tread Lightly” when responding or commenting.
