|
(COLUMBUS,
Ohio)—Following an evening briefing regarding the train derailment
in East Palestine, Governor DeWine and Columbiana County officials
are issuing an urgent warning to those living within a mile of the
derailment. Within the last two hours, a drastic temperature change
has taken place in a rail car, and there is now the potential of a
catastrophic tanker failure which could cause an explosion with the
potential of deadly shrapnel traveling up to a mile.
Although teams are working to prevent an explosion from happening,
residents living within a mile of the site are advised to
immediately leave the area. While most individuals in the one-mile
radius have already evacuated, local officials say that more than
500 people have declined to leave their homes.
Those who have the means to leave are advised to immediately
evacuate. Those who need help evacuating the area should call
330-426-4341. According to the Columbiana County Sheriff, those with
children in their homes who decline to evacuate may be subject to
arrest.
At approximately 8 p.m., Governor DeWine activated the Ohio
National Guard to deploy to the scene to assist local authorities.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol, Ohio Emergency Management Agency, and
Ohio EPA are also assisting.
